Summary:

The changes in this pull request are focused on optimizing the packaging of the Brakeman gem, which is a security analysis tool for Ruby on Rails applications. The main changes include excluding unnecessary files and directories from the gem package, managing dependencies, and ensuring a clean build environment. These changes are generally positive from a security perspective, as they help reduce the attack surface and maintain the reliability of the Brakeman gem.

The changes in the brakeman.gemspec file exclude certain directories and files from the gem package, which helps reduce the size of the gem and minimize the inclusion of unnecessary dependencies. The explicit addition of the racc gem as a dependency is also a common practice to ensure compatibility and reliability, especially when the gem has native code that cannot be easily bundled.

The changes in the build.rb file are focused on preparing a clean build environment, removing unnecessary files, and setting up the load path for the bundled gems. These changes help ensure that the Brakeman gem is packaged correctly and that the bundled package is free of unnecessary files and dependencies.

Overall, the changes in this pull request appear to be focused on improving the packaging and distribution of the Brakeman gem, which is an important aspect of maintaining the security and reliability of the tool.
