It has a direct dependency on "ruby-libs", which owns the
/usr/lib/*ruby/1.8 directory tree. That "ruby" requires "ruby-libs"
already, well, ugh.

* The facter.rb script should not be executable. Gives ugly errors
without a ruby shebang.

* The install location of the script (/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/) looks
wrong. IMHO, it should be

  $ ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["rubylibdir"]'
  /usr/lib/ruby/1.8

instead, just like we install Perl modules into vendor locations,
as site locations take precendence in search path list.

* "Source0" tag should include full URL of tarball:
  http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/facter/facter-1.1.3.tgz

* Repeating the program name in the "Summary" is commonly considered
bad taste/style, since what counts and is most interesting is what the
stuff in the package does, not its name.

Summary: Ruby module for collecting simple facts about a host operating system

The package description can expand on that, and at least the
%description hould explain that this is a module written in "Ruby".

* facter 1.1.3 has been released.
