rubygems-update
Wincent Colaiuta: The standard update procedure yielded an error and didn’t actually install the new version
So the new dance is:
sudo gem install rubygems-update; sudo update_rubygems
Notable in this release:
Now uses ~/.gem/cache if the cache dir in GEM_HOME is not writable.
So if you forget to type sudo
, what you asked for gets installed anyway, but just for you, leaving you with a mess to clean up. No thanks. Easily fixed:
find ~/.gem -type d | xargs chmod -w
Rubygems 1.3 also requires an upgrade to Rails.
