Re: [RFU] ruby-puppet-lint-2.0.2-1

Ok, never mind.  I just realized that other ruby gems packages already come with
that, too.

How unpleasant! It looks as though the shebang is being altered by 'gem install'. There is a perfectly decent shebang when the gem is unpacked, but this gets nobbled during the install process, probably by the shebang() function in /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/installer.rb (shebang() function starts at line 500). Ideally this should be patched if someone can work out how the '.exe' is creeping in, as that would fix all gem packages when they are rebuilt.

The other option is for each gem package to call ruby_fix_shebang() in src_install() of their respective cygport files. But it would be better to patch 'gem' if at all possible.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at these packages.

Dave.
