Publishing gems on RubyGems and/or on Homebrew?

git-pulls is the first gem I maintain and I am responsible for which is used by real people other than me. That brings me to situation I never have been confronted to.

For example, someone ask for the creation of a brew package here. To what someone answered:

Homebrew specifically doesn't want to replace systems like Rubygems, since it would only lead to duplication.

Hovewer, I found this entry on the RubyGems documentation which explains how to distribute gems both on RubyGems and Homebrew.

The issue was created a couple of years ago. And I have no clue wether the RubyGems community opinion evolved since. And I do not find answer for this.

I have no position for this right now, so as a rookie gem publisher, I look for insightful tips :)

So, duplication or not?

Ruby gems are generally not accepted into Homebrew; rather, it is expected that users will install Ruby (possibly via Homebrew), and then install/manage gems with RubyGems instead.
