pik update actually downdates the pik, no way to get back up

[agrimm]

If I'm in pik 0.3.0.pre , and try to update to 0.3.0.RC1, I get downdated(?) to 0.2.8. There doesn't seem to be a way of getting back up to 0.3.0.pre without building my own gem, as there's no gems available for 0.3.0.pre or 0.3.0.RC1 .

Hello,

I believe that is happening because Pik is using RubyGems as mechanism
to update itself, but there hasn't been a 0.3.0x release to RubyGems:

http://rubygems.org/gems/pik/versions

That could satisfy the installation rules.

Since most likely you installed Pik not using the gem, doing an
update in the rubygems-way will downgrade you to latest gem-released
version.

I'll keep this open to investigate further, but it will be better that
use the same mechanism you used to install 0.3.0.pre to install rc1
version.

I'll keep this open to investigate further, but it will be better that
use the same mechanism you used to install 0.3.0.pre to install rc1
version.

The mechanism I used to install 0.3.0.pre was the Windows installer. When installing pik, I assumed that the reason there wasn't a 0.3.0.rc1 version of Windows installer was that creating a Windows installer was a tedious process, and therefore I should use the Windows installer version merely to bootstrap myself to get the latest version. However, I'll keep your advice in mind in future.

[zhon]

Maybe the documentation could explain this better.
