DEPRECATED rubygems.org now has reverse dependencies https://rubygems.org/gems/parallel/reverse_dependencies
sudo gem install gem-dependent
The first run can take looooong, but after the caches are filled, its pretty fast. Checking all versions will take significantly longer.
gem dependent my_gem
--source URL Query this source (e.g. http://rubygems.org)
--no-progress Do not show progress
--fetch-limit N Fetch specs for max N gems (for fast debugging)
--parallel N Make N requests in parallel (default 15)
--all-versions Check against all versions of gems
--type Only look for dependents matching the listed type(s) (default is runtime and development)
gem dependent my_gem --source http://rubygems.org
other_gem >= 1.2.1
even_more = 0.0.1
gem dependent XXX --source http://rubygems.org --no-progress | wc -l
