RubyGems 0.9.4.7 is a beta release for the upcoming 0.9.5 which adds several new features and fixes several bugs.
To upgrade to the beta:
gem update --system --source http://segment7.net/
A tar.gz and .zip of the beta can also be downloaded for manual installation:
http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.tgz
http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.zip
Unpack either and run `ruby setup.rb`.
To file bugs:
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`. For example:
$ gem --debug unknown_command
Exception `RuntimeError' at [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114 - Unknown command unknown_command
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
Unknown command unknown_command
[...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114:in `find_command'
[...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:103:in `process_args'
[...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:74:in `run'
[...]/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:39:in `run'
/usr/local/bin/gem:22
