OK, new RPMs can be found at:

http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/

The files you want are:

ruby-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-libs-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-devel-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-tcltk-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
irb-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-docs-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-mode-xemacs-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm
ruby-mode-1.6.7-8.i386.rpm

The SRPM can be found there, too.

To rebuild on a system with no Emacs or XEmacs, do this:

rpm --rebuild --without mode --without xemacs_mode ruby-1.6.7-8.src.rpm

I've been sending my changes upstream, but they've thus far been
ignored. I'll try again.
