IRC: #javagems on irc.freenode.net
Gemcutter has a ‘commit-bit’ policy, much like the Rubinius project. So we do too. Submit a patch that is accepted, and you can get full commit access to the project. All you have to do is ask us on #javagems on Freenode or bug gabrielg or jaknowlden in a message and they’ll add you as a collaborator on the main repository. Feel free to fork the project though and have fun in your own sandbox.
Please read up on the GitHub Wiki for the latest contribution guidelines.
Gemcutter consists of a few major parts:
- Rails app: To manage users and allow others to view gems, etc.
- Sinatra app (Hostess): the gem server, lives in
app/metal/hostess.rb. - RubyGem: The gemcutter client gem that interacts with the site, lives in
gem/. - Gem processor: Handles incoming gems and storing them in S3 (production) or on the filesystem in
server/(development). Lives inlib/gemcutter.rb,lib/indexer.rb,lib/vault.rb.
Gemcutter uses the MIT license. Please check the LICENSE file for more details.
