For the folks trying to install a RubyGem via GitHub prior to yesterday’s release, you’d get the all too familiar “Updating metadata for 563 gems…” every time.
Well no more, thanks to a massive effort by Eric Hodel. Not only are the issues with adding multiple sources fixed, but the indexing has been fixed such that gem installs are basically instantaneous now.
Do yourself a favor and run the following commands if you’re a Ruby guy/gal.
$ sudo gem update --system $ gem sources -a <a href="http://gems.github.com">http://gems.github.com</a>
You’re now able to install gems from GitHub directly without specifying the source, just like you would if you were installing them from RubyForge.
$ sudo gem install defunkt-github
That’s all there is to it, thanks Eric!


Ooh, nice. And the sources are stored per-user in ~/.gemrc. Awesome!
Awesome work, Eric. Thank you!
awesome. Hat’s off and many thanks to Eric! (p.s. Seattle.rb rules!)
hmm, just tried this, including installing defunkt-github, but running any of the github commands results in the following error:
I have the same problem like PhilGeek

Common methods of Internet access in homes include dial-up, landline broadband (over coaxial cable, fiber optic or copper wires) virtual private server, Wi-Fi, satellite and 3G technology cell phones. Public places to use the Internet include libraries and Internet cafes, where computers with Internet connections are available. There are also Internet access points in many public places such as airport halls and coffee shops, in some cases just for brief use while standing. Various terms are used, such as "public Internet kiosk", "public access terminal", and "Web payphone". Many hotels now also have public terminals, though these are usually fee-based computers. These terminals are widely accessed for various usage like ticket booking, bank deposit, online payment etc. Wi-Fi provides wireless access to computer networks, and therefore can do so to the Internet itself. Hotspots providing such access include Wi-Fi cafes, where would-be users need to bring their own wireless-enabled devices such as a laptop or PDA. These services may be free to all, free to customers only, or fee-based. A hotspot need not be limited to a confined location. A whole campus or park, or even an entire city can be enabled. Grassroots efforts have led to wireless community networks. Commercial Wi-Fi services covering large city areas are in place in London, Vienna, Toronto, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago and Pittsburgh. The Internet can then be accessed from such places as a park bench.Apart from Wi-Fi, there have been experiments with proprietary mobile wireless networks like Ricochet, various high-speed data services over cellular phone networks, and fixed wireless services. High-end mobile phones such as smartphones generally come with Internet access through the phone network. Web browsers such as Opera are available on these advanced handsets, which can also run a wide variety of other Internet software. More mobile phones have Internet access than PCs, though this is not as widely used. An Internet access provider and protocol matrix differentiates the methods used to get online.
Thank you. I will have further look later at home. The problem is that I start from the really beginning. I was not into the topic, so I had never read any about this before. free web advertising |job listings |bath vanity
