gem2rpm includes all dependencies instead of including only runtime dependencies

Question

Version 0.6.0 of gem2rpm includes all (development and runtime) dependencies for a given Gem.

Example: Rack Gem (http://rubygems.org/gems/rack) Version 1.1.0 has no runtime dependencies, but six development dependencies.

Console output of gem2rpm --dependencies rack-1.0.1.gem is:

• rubygem(test-spec) >= 0
• rubygem(camping) >= 0
• rubygem(fcgi) >= 0
• rubygem(memcache-client) >= 0
• rubygem(mongrel) >= 0
• rubygem(ruby-openid) >= 2.0.0
• rubygem(thin) >= 0`

How can I specify to only include runtime dependencies?

I have also opened a ticket on rubyforge.org, but there isn't a lot of activity on that tracker.

Thank you for any hints.

I also suffered from this bug. I corrected it including only dependencies of type :runtime with the following patch:

I didn't include the :development dependencies as BuildRequires because they are not needed to create the RPM from the SRPM
