All Our Gems Are Belong to Gemcutter


So after github left us all hanging out to dry, Gemcutter is quickly becoming it's replacement and apparently the future of gem hosting. After working with gemcutter a bit, I'm actually becoming quite fond of it. It's easy to use and you get instant gem publishing.

To start using gemcutter as a source, it only takes a couple seconds:
  1. gem install gemcutter
  2. gem tumble (this adds gemcutter to the top of your gem sources list)
Then you'll want to uninstall and reinstall old gems as it appears that gem update will still grab from rubyforge if they existed there and you'll want to remove all your github sourced gems.

Here are the new homes for our main Appoxy gems:
Alright, now hopefully Gemcutter sticks around for a while so we don't have to do this again.

  1. To make sure you've got the right versions, AWS should be > 1.11.38, Simple Record should be > 1.1.25.
