[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#795603: ruby-libvirt: has no rubygems-integration entry

[Guido De Rosa]

Package: ruby-libvirt
Version: 0.5.1-3+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

[Use case]

For my Ruby applications I like using both Bundler and
Debian-prepackaged gems (specially when they would require native
compilation). So, when in Debian, when I `bundle install`, I get
"Using... " from Bundler and there's no need to install from
rubygems.org (and compile), I just use the deb package installed
already; but when deploying in
other environments, still my application can work doing ultimately a generic
gem install (and native compile for gems like ruby-libvirt which use
extensions).

For such reason, rubygems-integration is great! as it makes the
deployment easy in Debian but still allows generic installation of gems
elsewhere.

[Problem]

Unfortunately there's no rubygems-integration for ruby-libvirt.

[Suggested solution / approach]

I guess the issue can be easily fixed by adding the gemspec file taken
from the original gem

https://rubygems.org/gems/ruby-libvirt

to this package, in such a way that it gets installed
under /usr/share/rubygems-integration/2.1/specifications/ .

See other ruby-mysql, ruby-rmagick and many others as examples.

[Other Debian releases]

Please note, this issue is not fixed in testing/unstable/experimental
versions of this package either.

Thanks.

Guido
