[Libguestfs] IRC question: Ruby gems

18:24 < cknapp> rwmjones: is the RPM the best way to grab the guestfs gem? [Please stay in the channel after asking a question!] We currently ship the Ruby bindings as an extension in the ruby/ subdirectory of the source tarball. (Note that because the extension is mostly generated during the build, you will have to download the tarball from http://libguestfs.org/download/ which contains the generated bits; or, much less conveniently, you will have to do a full build from git). So there is no gem as such. In particular there is nothing on rubygems.org. However it should be possible to take the ruby/ subdirectory and turn it into a gem with minimal effort, since it is already in mostly the right format. In particular, see the Gem::Specification section in ruby/Rakefile. I don't know how the gem relates to the Fedora RPM. Possibly not at all.
