Remove and ignore previously packaged versions of qips-wfmgr that make the gem 130MB

[drbrain]

qips-wfmgr releases use over 2GB of space on rubygems.org with 14 releases of 140MB each: https://gist.github.com/1629309

This pull request removes the gems from the pkg/ directory which contain multiple copies of the gem, each containing multiple copies of previous versions of the gem in their respective pkg/ directories.

Additionally I have filed technicalpickles/jeweler#216 to help with this problem as the source of the problem is in your packaging tool. In my brief look through the jeweler codebase it appears that removing and ignoring these files will solve the problem, reducing the size of qips-wfmgr below 1MB.

PS: We may ask you to re-release prior versions of qips-wfmgr without the multiple extra gems to save money for rubygems.org.

Wow, I did not realize the gem was packing these in. The project was bus factor 1 of someone that left the organization a while ago. Will make the updates and push a new gem. Thanks!

You can file a support ticket on rubygems.org to fix ownership

I see that ownership was transferred. Please re-release this gem w/ the proper contents and then file a support ticket to get all of the previous versions yanked and purged. Lemme know if you need any help with packaging and releasing.

[delagoya]

All versions of the gem removed. Apologies for the extreme delays.
