Easier installation of packages with binary extensions? RubyGems can't specify dependencies on system libraries, so for example "gem install nokogiri" may fail in case you don't have libxml2-devel installed. Unfortunately, most of the upstreams solve the user complains that they cannot install their favorite library due to missing dependencies (and be it just -devel package) by bundling, they'll bundle libxml2 (for example) into the package and the problem is solved. It is easier for them then to educate their users :/ Vít -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
