I understand your feeling we could live without them, but as we have 
bundler install in the %build section we need them there. Ruby apps have 
no build-time dependencies, but we do. It was our decision to put it 
there and it is nothing very special to have additional checks in the 
build file forcing us to build only valid RPMs.

I hope it's currently the best approach to heal our rubygems dependency 
issues. We are trying to build up-to-date Gemfile.lock, and this can 
only be done with the gems themselves. Using the lockfile from our git 
repo is not the path, we are changing it.

And it's working now - as community member reports it (RPM 0.1.57+) 
helped to solve  "rack-something not found" issue.

I hope our build box works similar to Koji - it installs all the 
required dependencies first, then builds the package. I really don't 
understand what is the point here. Do you worry the build box will 
download too many packages? Or does it bother you there is no way of 
building the rpm locally without those deps? Please elaborate.

This is currently a BLOCKER not only for me, but for all of us. Let's 
hook up and make a call in your TZ morning.
