Show Notes:

  • Nick Quaranto, creator of Gemcutter which is now RubyGems.org
  • Gemcutter is the Ruby community’s gem hosting service.
  • Tom Preston-Warner, founder of GitHub
  • RubyForge was the original spot to host your Ruby project.
  • Peter Cooper, publisher of Ruby Inside and co-host of the Ruby Show.
  • A gemspec is a manifest for a Ruby gem.
  • Since a gemspec is saved as YAML, you can embed Ruby in it.
  • Bundler manages a Ruby application’s dependencies through its entire life across many machines systematically and repeatably.
  • Bundler 1.1 aims to speed up how gems are fetched.
  • Jeweler and Hoe help you create, package, and release gems.
  • Ryan Tomayko from GitHub tells us why “require ‘rubygems’” is wrong
  • GitHub is no longer in the Gem building business.
  • Erik Michaels-Ober uses the gem post install message to share resources with users.
  • When not squashing Gemcutter bugs or applying patches, Nick likes to play with Redis and EventMachine.

    • Something missing or broken? PRs welcome!
