package, but not both (sounds sensible anyway)

Now, I&#8217;ve made an erb template to match what we discussed up till now.

You can see the result here

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;
