undefined method rubyforge_project=' for class Gem::Specification' (NameError)

[utkarsh2102]

Whilst trying to install rubygems manually, I tried running ruby setup.rb, as suggested in the README.md file.
Upon doing so, I got:

➜  rubygems git:(master) ruby setup.rb
Traceback (most recent call last):
	5: from setup.rb:23:in `<main>'
	4: from setup.rb:23:in `require'
	3: from /home/utkarsh/debian/ruby-team/rubygems/rubygems/lib/rubygems.rb:1347:in `<top (required)>'
	2: from /home/utkarsh/debian/ruby-team/rubygems/rubygems/lib/rubygems.rb:1347:in `require'
	1: from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb:90:in `<top (required)>'
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb:91:in `<class:Specification>': undefined method `rubyforge_project=' for class `Gem::Specification' (NameError)

I believe this has been deprecated and shouldn't really be used 🤔
Am I missing something or is it really a bug!?

@utkarsh2102 you do mix system and custom ruby installations. It is not supported. Please install ruby manually (not by system package, for example by ruby-install or rbenv) and update rubygems manually or keep your ruby updated by system (not manually).

@deivid-rodriguez operating_system.rb seems really dangerous place actually. What about to rescue all errors during requiring and next to the stack-trace report user friendly message explaining that there are some problems at rubygems distributor side.

Gah, I see. Thanks for the tip 👍
(we're working on packaging rubygems, btw)

@utkarsh2102 yeah, I know. This exact problem should be already fixed at https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/rubygems-integration/-/commit/39d3a082f568ec0b6c9acd10e54a4a31a08bd8b5.

Aha, I see. Thanks \o/

P.S. figured why it still doesn't work -- this has been released just a couple of hours back. So the new update of rubygems-integration should fix this!

@simi This is a very good idea in my opinion 👍.
