I just provide the example of "unpacking" to show that there's not much as far as native dependencies required once a JDK is available. JRuby itself is published to Maven, of course, but the "dist" package most people install is distributed as a a tarball or zip containing: * pre-built jar(s) for JRuby itself * a set of bin scripts to launch JRuby and provided tools * a whole bunch of Ruby sources and additional jar files to provide the Ruby standard library (most of the pure-Ruby is the same code as in standard Ruby). We also publish the entire dist to Maven: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.jruby/jruby-dist. The main jar file we ship is largely equivalent to the `jruby-core` Maven artifact, with all third-party JVM libraries bundled into the same file. I'm not sure how finely the JRuby dist would need to be sliced up to become an acceptable Fedora package. Looking at standard Ruby packages from https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/ruby/ it doesn't appear that each individual standard library is split off into its own package, and there's some aggregate packages for "bundled" (preinstalled) and "default" (in stdlib but upgradable) gems. JRuby has the same basic split and roughly the same layout of how we ship the standard library. Perhaps someone who maintains the existing Ruby packages could help me figure out what needs to change to support the same packages for JRuby?
