Details

The ruby package in [extra] conflicts with "rubygems", since it replaced the old rubygems package. However, now everyone should have moved past this and the only rubygems package in existence is in the AUR (rubygems1.8). It would be nice if ruby could no longer conflict with "rubygems" so that rubygems1.8 can "provide" rubygems and then gem packages can depend on "rubygems" and be satisfied by either ruby or ruby1.8+rubygems1.8.

Note that ruby can/should still provide "rubygems", that isn't a problem.

Thanks.
This task depends upon
