Subject: GitHub trying to build gemspec from subdirectory
On GitHub it's stated multiple times that gems are only build for projects with a gemspec in their root directory. It seems to me that this isn't true anymore.
For Steam Condenser there's no gemspec in the root directory because it has multiple implementations and I don't want to move language specific code to the root directory. After my last push of the gemspec yesterday GitHub tried to build the gemspec in the ruby subfolder. The only problem is that the build process seems to run in the root directory and therefore can't find the files.
The error message I get is:
The gem build system failed with the following error:
No such file or directory - LICENSE
PS: The gemspec builds fine locally, even with this test script.

We don't officially support subdirectory gemspecs yet, but we'll look into this as soon as we can.
Cheers,

I know that. I just wondered why it still tries to build a gemspec not in the root directory.
Nevertheless thanks for a great project like GitHub and a great support.
Best regards.
