Hi there, just to introduce my problem: because I have a bad internet connection I want to create a local repository on one of my PCs here in the office, and install gems from this PC (instead of rubygems). I looked to a lot of blogs, manuals, etc., but I can not get it working. This is what I did: On my PC (which should be my local gem repository) - Linux system 1. mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/gems 2. cp /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/cache/*.gem /var/www/localhost/htdocs/gems 3. gem generate_index -d /var/www/localhost/htdocs This creates the following in /var/www/localhost/htdocs: Marshal.4.8 Marshal.4.8.Z latest_specs.4.8 latest_specs.4.8.gz prerelease_specs.4.8 prerelease_specs.4.8.gz quick specs.4.8 specs.4.8.gz 4. Starting the server with gem server --dir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ This ends up with the following error message: ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) /var/www/localhost/htdocs does not appear to be a gem repository When I start gem server (which is linked to /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1 by default) the gem server starts perfect. Comparing these directories the /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1 directory contains bin, cache, doc, gems, specifications Not so for my "new" directory: /var/www/localhost/htdocs. Also the gemspec files are hold different (in /var/www/localhost/htdocs under quick/Marshal.4.8 they are inflated with gemspec.rz) So the question is: how can I create a repository like under /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1 . Is there a special command?

Hi Luis, cool thanks. It works now. Honestly: I spend about 4 hours and read all stuff with generate_index. But at least you gave me the solution.

It is worth mentioning that Artifactory Pro, starting at version 3.0.3, fully supports RubyGems local, remote and virtual repositories. Remote repositories can eliminate the vulnerabilities caused by bad/slow networking to rubygems.org. Local repositories can be used for hosting in-house gems in a secured and reliable manner. This solution is not free, but might be the best solution for an enterprise environment. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
