rubygems-mirror¶ ↑

github.com/rubygems/rubygems-mirror

DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

This is an update to the old ‘gem mirror` command. It uses net/http/persistent and threads to grab the mirror set a little faster than the original. Eventually it will replace `gem mirror` completely. Right now the API is not completely stable (it will change several times before release), however, I will maintain stability in master.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:¶ ↑

• Fast mirroring

• Limited tests - just functional

REQUIREMENTS:¶ ↑

• rubygems

• net/http/persistent

USAGE¶ ↑

• In a file at ~/.gem/.mirrorrc add a config that looks like the following:

  ---
  - from: http://rubygems.org
    to: /data/rubygems
    parallelism: 10

• Either install the gem, then run ‘gem mirror`, or

• Clone then run ‘rake mirror:update`

INSTALL:¶ ↑

• gem install rubygems-mirror
