Recently I learned you can use #RDoc in your #RubyGem description, and rubygems.org will render it as HTML!

Unfortunately, their CSS reset gets the better of it. But not for long, if this PR gets merged: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/pull/6228 (before/after screenshots included)

Here's to @st0012 and his fabulous work on Aliki that made this easy!

QUESTION:
Is anyone aware of a tool that generates gems, such that it can generate 100 or 1000 gems, with predictable names, namespaces, and contents, so they can be used for testing the behavior of a library when another library with specific attributes is loaded? Just wondering if there is prior art before I release my take on it.

I hate package manager that do not have proper version based dependency management. Currently complaining about RubyGem.
I mean it tells me which gem is not compatible with my Ruby version and even tells me which is the last supported version. How about gem does install that version instead of failing?
