Details

rubygems provides a way for distributions override defaults, right now there's a patch to make install_extension_in_lib return false, but that's not the way to do it.

This code:

module Gem

def self.install_extension_in_lib
false
end

end

achieves the same thing when placed in /usr/lib/ruby/${rubyver}/rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb.

The patch references Fedora's own operating_system.rb, which overrides install_extension_in_lib in precisely the same way.

Please note that FS#70961 contains the more correct operating_system.rb that calls remove_method in order to remove warnings with `ruby -w`. Fedora does the same.
