Any tips or guidelines for creating ruby packages?

Second draft of the src.rpm  which now splits out each sub-component
from the ruby-gnome2-all tarball  as a seperate binary package.

Just a few questions I have left:
1) not sure whether to include the previously discussed changed to
%__find_provides or not.
2) I'm excluding .h files... should i make one big -devel package are
make seperate -devel subpackages that each pretty much includes just
.h file per -devel package.

3)the damn sample scripts that I'm including as the %docs  uses
/usr/local/bin/ruby and rpm is picking that up and adding a
requirement for /usr/loca/bin/ruby. What to do here?
a)drop the samples from the packages
b)patch the samples to use /usr/bin/ruby
c)somehow disable rpm's automatic requires checking to avoid picking
up /usr/local/bin/ruby as a requirement.

The new ruby-gnome-all srpm and mock generated binary subpackages can
