+
+A few comments about this spec:
+- devel package is generated to pull the development dependencies, maybe
+ it could be created also whenever there are additional files that are
+ not in the require_paths node of the YAML specification.
+
+
+There are several things that need to be fixed:
+- in gem2rpm, version requirements should translate the ~&gt; operator
+ (it means &gt;= X.Y and &lt; Z)
+- in rubygems.rb, files that are not in require_paths are deleted. So we
+ have to support test_files so that they can be included in the devel
+ packages
+
+Regarding the specification, I would like to generalize tests, but that
+will not be an easy task, because of circular dependencies, don&#8217;t know
+how to circumvent the issue, because even if I first do the import
+without the check for the bootstrap, It&#8217;s likely that the problem will
+arise when upgrading the package, requiring to disable the test first
+and then activate it again&#8230;
+
