Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], I noticed that babosa could not be built reproducibly. This is because the __dir__ gets expanded when building/rendering the .gemspec file which is then shipped in the binary package. As this path is dependent on the path in which you build babosa, this makes the build unreproducible. I think that cert_chain is only needed if signing_key is needed, so moving it under the same conditional seems to be safe. The goal, however, is to prevent cert_chain from being included in regular, "normal", builds of the package. I originally filed this in Debian as bug #1041840 [1].
