Hello, I have been trying for the last three days on two different debian linux platforms x386 and amd64 using different rubygems versions 1.1.1, 1.2.0 and 1.3.1 to update gems on my system. No way! It only says it''s doing a bulk source update, eats all memory and does nothing. The longest I was waiting was 10 hours. Surely that''s enough to update rails installation with dependencies and a couple of other gems on a 1Mb cable line? It seems I''ll have to learn to live with manual gem downloads. So my question is: how do you live without rubygems when you have to? Has anyone any shell scripts that use awk or sed, tar and wget? I''m sure they would do a better job. I''m close to start writing one but maybe someone already got something like this.

The only time I''ve run into anything similar is when my internet has either went *kaput* or a firewall setting at work stopped me from downloading any gems automatically.

What on earth could it be? Ruby version? Mine is 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux] I tried again latest (1.3.1) version and it behaves the same. It slowly eats memory until about 80% and then starts swapping heavily. Maybe that''s simply the way it''s supposed to be nowadays and one can only add more RAM? Can you say how much RAM you got?

It''s a problem with your particular version of Rubygems. I just worked around it here. The amount of RAM you need for the bulk update depends on the amount of Gems you have installed. The easy solution is to upgrade to 1.3.0 or higher where bulk updating no longer happens. wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/43984/rubygems-update-1.3.0.gem sudo gem install rubygems-update-1.3.0.gem sudo update_rubygems Then to make sure you have the latest... sudo gem update --system On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 3:27 PM, expilo <kopszak-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > What on earth could it be?
