I'm new to Ruby and I am willing to learn. Anyone need help on a
project for the next 3 days? All my friends are on vacation and I have
nothing better to do. I do have programming experience in Java and C.
Have you done the Ruby Koans?

Just finished this. I had to find some more info on exceptions to get
past that part, and it took me a while to figure out that
"method_missing" is automagically called on a class if it doesn't have
the method being called. Redifining that made the proxy koan much
easier to solve.
I still need some brushing up on regex and file IO stuff.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

No problem!

Jeremy, thanks for that hint, I instantly fell in love with this site. Unfortunately I was never great at math but I love to tinker with such problems. Cool

Im programming for the fun of it. I lose my internet connection

So I thought if I switch to perl I can download the cpan and
have 22000 modules on my hd. So I did.
But I really,really,really prefer Ruby.
So I thought maybe I can download all of gem?
So I can stick with ruby?

There's no free WiFi anywhere near you so you can get a few gems now and then?

Hi,
I found "gem mirror" command in a old version of gem, but
a current version of gem doesn't have such a command.
Now, I think that the one way to download all gem files is to do
following steps:
1. obtain all gem names with "gem search" command
$ gem search --remote
2. download all gem files with "gem fetch" command
$ gem fetch [gemname] [gemname] [gemname] ...
([gemname] is one of the gem names obtained in step 1)
Although this way is troublesome if you do by your hand,
you can write a simple script which do these steps automatically.
There might be a better way than this way, but I don't know.
Regards,

using bash this might look like this:
=========================================================================
$ for GEM in $(gem search -qr | awk 'NR>2 { print $1 }'); do gem fetch
${GEM}; done;
All available remote gems (~25k@gemcutter) will be fetched to the current
working directory. However, this also includes all sort of garbage modules
created for testing or those no longer under active development.
Hope this helps ...

This worked for me:
$ cd some/dir/to/store/gems/in
$ gem update --system && gem search --no-installed --no-details
--no-versions --remote | awk 'NR<10' | xargs gem fetch --bulk-threshold 2
Latest version currently installed. Aborting.

If you want all of them, just don't pipe it through awk. I think Jan is on
the right path with fetching the gems (as opposed to installing them, which
could have security consequences, and probably lead to hard to track bugs
from some gem authors not understanding the conventions). Then, when you
want one of the gems, you can cd into that dir and `$ gem install
gemname-version.gem`
Of course, this doesn't fetch every version of every gem, just the most
recent.

looks like it hasn't been released as a gem yet... I haven't seen much movement on it lately so I don't know the status of it.
That said... `gem mirror` will download ALL the gems, not just the latest. It's a bit heavy handed if you're looking to do something more casual.
