[DRE-maint] Hello

[Antono Vasiljev]

Hello!

I've just subscribed to list and I would like to get some experience
from clever debian guys about ruby packaging :) 

My primary goal is to support "Ubuntu on Rails"[1] PPA and maybe push
something useful to debian/ubuntu/universe.

Trying to update rubygems package to 1.3.5:

1) downloaded libgems-ruby-1.3.4 (contains only debian/ repo)
2) Renamed it to libgems-ruby-1.3.5 
3) Got tarbasll with pkg-ruby-get-sources
4) Unpacked sources in home of ./libgems-ruby-1.3.4
   tar -xzvf tarballs/libgems-ruby_1.3.5.orig.tar.gz
   Do i need this step?
5) Got directory tree (see attached file).
6) Trying to build package with debuild and patching fails

I need advice/comments on my workflow and help in updating dpatches.

Thank you in advance!
