I’m proposing this change as a generalized follow-up to https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1512, based on discussion in the FPC meeting where it was approved. This change would allow approaches like https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cucumber-messages/pull-request/2 without individual exceptions. Review and feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

Posted to the ruby-sig mailing list for feedback.

Does this really need to be stressed here? This bullet is part of Libraries / RubyGems section, so it is implied IMHO.

Would it be too much to ask about some comment in .spec file why this option was chosen? 🤔

 
+  Using a `Source` other than the released Gem archive,
+  such as when packaging a Gem
+  as a subpackage of a larger multi-language project,
+  is to be undertaken with care:
+  the package MUST still function as a Gem.

Ok, we can do without this sentence.

That’s a good idea.

I’m force-pushing with an updated proposal.
