Description Andreas Bierfert 2006-02-02 16:52:57 UTC 
While pushing a build of koffice for extras-devel added ruby-devel as a
BuildRequires but detection of ruby failed because ruby is not Required for
ruby-devel.

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2006-02-03 02:45:13 UTC 
Have you read a description of ruby-devel package? ruby-devel is to make an
extension library for Ruby and ruby package contains Ruby interpreter. basically
you don't necessarily need Ruby interpreter at all to build an extension library
itself which is written in C say. so you need BuildReq: ruby if you want to use
Ruby interpreter for the package anyway.
