Note! Some versions of RubyGems have a bug that will prevent automatic updates. If RubyGems says it has nothing to update, run:    $ gem install rubygems-update    $ update\_rubygems = Announce: RubyGems Release 1.3.0 Release 1.3.0 adds new features and fixes some bugs. New features: \* RubyGems doesn't print LOCAL/REMOTE titles for `gem query` and friends if    stdout is not a TTY, except with --both. \* Added Gem.find\_files, allows a gem to discover features provided by other    gems. \* Added pre/post (un)install hooks for packagers of RubyGems. (Not for gems    themselves). \* RubyGems now installs gems into ~/.gem if GEM\_HOME is not writable. Use    --no-user-install command-line switch to disable this behavior. \* Fetching specs for update now uses If-Modified-Since requests. \* RubyGems now updates the ri cache when the rdoc gem is installed and    documentation is generated. Deprecation Notices: \* Gem::manage\_gems now warns when called. It will be removed on or after March    2009. Bugs Fixed: \* RubyGems 1.3.0+ now updates when no previous rubygems-update is installed.    Bug #20775 by Hemant Kumar. \* RubyGems now uses the regexp we already have for `gem list --installed`. Bug    #20876 by Nick Hoffman. \* Platform is now forced to Gem::Platform::RUBY when nil or blank in the    indexer. Fixes various uninstallable gems. \* Handle EINVAL on seek. Based on patch in bug #20791 by Neil Wilson. \* Fix HTTPS support. Patch #21072 by Alex Arnell. \* RubyGems now loads all cache files even if latest has been loaded. Bug    #20776 by Uwe Kubosch. \* RubyGems checks for support of development dependencies for #to\_ruby. Bug    #20778 by Evan Weaver. \* Now specifications from the future can be loaded. \* Binary script uninstallation fixed. Bug #21234 by Neil Wilson. \* Uninstallation with -i fixed. Bug #20812 by John Clayton. \* Gem::Uninstaller#remove\_all now calls Gem::Uninstaller#uninstall\_gem so hooks    get called. Bug #21242 by Neil Wilson. \* Gem.ruby now properly escaped on windows. Fixes problem with extension    compilation. \* `gem lock --strict` works again. Patch #21814 by Sven Engelhardt. \* Platform detection for Solaris was improved. Patch #21911 by Bob Remeika. Other Changes Include: \* `gem help install` now describes \_version\_ argument to executable stubs \* `gem help environment` describes environment variables and ~/.gemrc and    /etc/gemrc \* On-disk gemspecs are now read in UTF-8 and written with a UTF-8 magic comment \* Rakefile    \* If the SETUP\_OPTIONS environment variable is set, pass its contents as      arguments to setup.rb \* lib/rubygems/platform.rb    \* Remove deprecated constant warnings and really deprecate them. (WIN32,      etc). \* lib/rubygems/remote\_fetcher.rb    \* Now uses ~/.gem/cache if the cache dir in GEM\_HOME is not writable. \* lib/rubygems/source\_index.rb    \* Deprecate options to 'search' other than Gem::Dependency instances and      issue warning until November 2008. \* setup.rb    \* --destdir folder structure now built using Pathname, so it works for      Windows platforms. \* test/\*    \* Fixes to run tests when under test/rubygems/. Patch by Yusuke ENDOH      [ruby-core:17353]. \* test/test\_ext\_configure\_builder.rb    \* Locale-free patch by Yusuke Endoh [ruby-core:17444]. For a full list of changes to RubyGems and the contributor for each change, see the ChangeLog file. Special thanks to Chad Wooley for backwards compatibility testing and Luis Lavena for continuing windows support. == How can I get RubyGems? NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may want to install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system. If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all you need to do is:    $ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root) NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see "Nothing to update". NOTE: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly installed rubygems-update gems. If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:    $ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root)    $ update\_rubygems (... here too) If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software ... doing it manually: 1. DOWNLOAD FROM: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=126](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126) 2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE 3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege) == To File Bugs The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at: [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group\_id=126&atid=575](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575) When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the issue. If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output. You can do that with `gem --debug the_command`. == Thanks Keep those gems coming! -- Jim & Chad & Eric (for the RubyGems team) ---

Doing sudo gem update on a MacOS X 10.5.5/Ruby 1.8.6/Gem 1.2.0 installation produced an error: Updating rubygems-update Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.3.0 ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError)     undefined local variable or method `remote\_gemspecs' for #\ Subsequent gem update --system produced the "nothing to update" message.

This was reported in RubyGems developer mailing list. The issue around it was fixed in the repository, but I missed the release 1.3.0 by 1 day (daily work), sorry for that. I only hope that Eric do a new release (1.3.1) soon enough to workaround this issue. > **···** > > On Oct 3, 3:56 am, Pokkai Dokkai \ wrote: > > > my os windows xp > > > > D:\workspace\>ruby -v > > ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] > > > > ... > > > > D:\workspace\>gem -v > > 1.3.0 > > > > D:\workspace\>gem env > > ERROR: While executing gem ...

What you mean with rubygems stuff is in a different folder? When RubyGems is installed it goes into the same folder structure used by Ruby. Please try a newer version of Ruby and stay with RubyGems 1.2 since 1.3.0 release contains a bug on Windows.

Perhaps there are more bugs in 1.2 than I knew about.

When you install the rubygems-update gem, make sure you install the version that matches your current version of rubygems. The following will do it: gem install rubygems-update -v `gem --version` Note that the quotes are backquotes (i.e. shift plus the tilde (~) key on a standard US keyboard).

No. This will leave you with whatever version of RubyGems you have, and will not upgrade you to 1.3.0. > **···** > > On Sep 30, 2008, at 13:25 PM, Paul Dowman wrote: > > > Kevin Williams wrote: > > > > > Vassilis Rizopoulos wrote: > > > > > > > Eric Hodel wrote: > > > > > > > > > Note!

I did exactly what Paul said, and I'm at 1.3.0 now (at least that's what gem --version says). Han Holl ---
