Now, while this is really simple, it hides all the details of the installation; one could do something similar for autotools projects, and so on... I don't think we want to push this. Unlike autotools projects, gems always have the very same installation procedure, therefore it could make sense to make an exception in this case.
Agreed.
I'd like to hear comments though about both ruby ports in general, and this Pkgfile.template sourcing.
I'd like to see your gem ports hit contrib. Porting non-Gem ruby extensions/libraries is often a hassle, since they often don't support DESTDIR etc. I'm fine with the Pkgfile.template approach. Regards, Tilman -- learn to quote: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
