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.

The patch https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rubygems/-/blob/main/rubygems_stop_so_duplication.patch?ref_type=heads was to avoid .so duplication but it is actually causing loading error (see https://github.com/boazsegev/iodine/issues/148#issuecomment-1705021468) because when required, only `lib/` seems to be taken into account and not `ext/`. Could we remove this patch?

Fedora does set this, and I've seen they are the distribution that has spent the most effort trying to solve rubygems issues. It would be interesting to know their opinion on why that makes sense.
