[DRE-maint] Bug#993829: Please ship nokogiri.h header file

[Cédric Boutillier]

Hi,

I have been looking at the bugs on ruby-nokogiri before trying to update
it to the new upstream version.

Using the gem install layout is not enough to have the
ext/nokogiri/nokogiri.h installed. As I understand it, gem_installer.rb
in gem2deb is removing all sources from the ext/ directory.

So my questions are:
- should we modify gem2deb to allow for installation of headers file?
  (at least maybe the ones added to the WHITELIST)
- if so, should we install them, as the gem command does, in the
  /usr/lib/ruby/gems/x.y.z/gems/package-a.b.c/ext subdirectory?
OR
- would it make sense for nokogumbo to use instead Built-Using: to use
  the nokogiri.h present in the source package?

what would be the best strategy for this situation?

Best wishes,

Cédric
