Jekyll is why I now have an antipackage (a package
with just conflicts, and no files) to prevent any Ruby
packages from getting installed on the host.  Somehow
I was never able to get any decent-sized Jekyll site
to preview the same way on two different systems.

I still use Jekyll for some things, but now
I always containerize the whole Ruby/Jekyll
stack, so that everyone working on the site is
more likely to get the same versions (example:
https://github.com/dmarti/smmd/blob/gh-pages/preview.sh
)
