IMO It does not make sense to split up a standard installation of Ruby into a bunch of separate packages

<testone>
the only valid reason would be to be able to fit in very small system, but I don't think it can be the goal of fedora
<o0x1eef>
FreeBSD does it that way too, and they have their own reasoning as well. I tried it for a while before I gave up and rolled my own port that provides a standard install

Reasoning is here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ruby - I think the rationale made more sense when rubygems wasn't part of Ruby, and when the stdlib wasn't gemified with a concept of default gems, etc.

sam113101: I think you want to install `ruby-devel` package for a proper environment rather than `ruby` package as a dependency.
<havenwood>
What testone said. They break it out into little parts. You often want "ruby-full" or "ruby-dev" or "ruby-devel" or whatever the packagers want to call the full Ruby.
<o0x1eef>
Hm nope. Looks like a subpackage is just a related package, and you still have to install it manually. I don't think ruby-devel is the answer either though. It is just another small piece in the puzzle.
<havenwood>
o0x1eef: You don't get default and bundled gems with ruby, but do with ruby-devel.
<havenwood>
Yeah, maybe there's more going on too.
<o0x1eef>
Are you sure? ruby-devel appears to be a subpackage just for building C extensions, and ruby is the parent package that has a lot of subpackages.
<o0x1eef>
Either way I think this conversation goes to show how confusing this approach can be. It is a common theme with fedora, ubuntu, etc for people to trip up on this.
<havenwood>
o0x1eef: I'm not at all sure. I haven't used Fedora in enough years my memory has faded to the point of uselessness.
<havenwood>
Yup, confusing.

No worries. Personally I would install all the subpackages, especially: ruby-bundled-gems ruby-default-gems ruby-devel ruby-libs - that should give you something close to standard Ruby
