I’d like to use the latest RubyGems off of GitHub to fix the invalid

  • 0

I’d like to use the latest RubyGems off of GitHub to fix the invalid gemspec time bug in the current Rubygems 1.8.10. The latter version is what you get when using rvm and saying rvm rubygems current, or rvm rubygems latest.

How can I teach rvm to install the head of the master branch of rubygems on github, or, how should I build that head locally to enable rvm to install it; or install it into RVM so it knows about it properly?

    You can update to the latest commit by running

    oe1320:rubygems augusto$ gem -v
1.8.8

oe1320:ruby augusto$ git clone https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.git

oe1320:ruby augusto$ cd rubygems/

oe1320:rubygems augusto$ git log -1

Add jruby and rubinius to travis-ci

oe1320:rubygems augusto$ ruby setup.rb 
RubyGems 1.8.10 installed
[...]

oe1320:rubygems augusto$ cd
oe1320:~ augusto$ gem -v
1.8.10

    As you can see I just updated from gem 1.8.8 to the latest commit from 1.8.10

    EDIT

    As I mentioned on the comment, I’m also running under RVM. When you run ruby setup.rb inside the rubygems forlder, it installs the gem script and sources in the correct folder. You don’t need to do anything special.

    $ gem which rubygems
/home/augusto/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb

$ rvm -v
