I have always looked upon these kinds of projects with interest until it comes to the packaging.

Let us say I create a really super-duper ruby qtbindings application. Is there any way for me to easily package it as a .msi / .dmg / .deb for distribution?

I have messed around with ocra, monkeybars etc and they have never worked or require arcane and undocumented hacks.

Packaging for distribution is the biggest challenge for desktop ruby apps I think.
