I can switch to that. However, we use this distpatch pattern in a number
of other places. We are already using it for another patch in this port:

PATCHFILES.p = ruby-box-test-fix{099da884fe95ccf6c684a1563ed1c4b0fd8e1196}.patch

SITES.p comes from lang/ruby/Makefile.inc:

SITES.p ?=              https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/

So using a similar approach for this rubygems patch seems reasonable to
me. I also expect this distpatch to only be needed temporarily, it's
likely Ruby 4.0.3 will include it.

Considering that, would you still prefer the distpatch be replaced with
a normal patch?

Best,
Jeremy
