Yeah, the link got cropped because the URL is so long. Head over to
http://www.rubyonrails.org and look for a link in the red bar that reads,
"New Release: Rails 1.1".

DOH, that still doesn't work right (wish they'd update their main site).
The link may have been split in the original thread. If you see two lines,
cut and paste both lines as a single line in your browser address bar. You
can also try this:

What do you mean? I think gem installs rails:

Upgrading from 1.0

So with such a massive update, upgrading is going to be hell, right? Wrong!
We've gone to painstaking lengths to ensure that upgrading from 1.0 will be
as easy as pie. Here goes the steps:

Update to Rails 1.1:
gem install rails --include-dependencies
Update JavaScripts for RJS:
rake rails:update
That's pretty much it! If you're seeing any nastiness after upgrading, it's
most likely due to a plugin that's incompatible with 1.1. See if the author
hasn't updated it and otherwise force him to do so.

If you're on Ruby 1.8.2 with Windows, though, you'll want to upgrade to the
1.8.4 (or the script/console will fail). And even if you're on another
platform, it's a good idea to upgrade to Ruby 1.8.4. We still support 1.8.2,
but might not in the next major release. So may as well get the upgrading
with over with now.

There. Now the URL should work most places. (Added <>)

I get a hang at ...
info@libros:~/bin> gem install rails --include-dependencies
Attempting local installation of 'rails'
Local gem file not found: rails*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'rails'
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org

never get past that!!!

That's what I mean

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxiua cupla

I guess a lot of people are hitting rubyforge. This did work after waiting
10 min.

Sorry for the confusion.

Whew, I was running out of ideas. Glad it's working now.

Still seems to be grinding though. I wonder if gems could also be
distributed through bit-torrent, or something?

 

[Peter Palmer]

What sort of bandwidth is needed? Perhaps I can help set up a mirror
service?

Cheers,


Pete

It's odd - a lot of the time seems to be taken up by updating the gem
info from the remote site. I think this took longer than actually
getting the gems down. The total time was not excessive though.

 

[Peter Palmer]

Perhaps it would be possible to mirror the gems as opposed to the site
itself? From what I can tell everything is coming from and relying on
one server on what appears ( forgive me if I'm mistaken ) to be a DSL
line. I've got servers and bandwidth spare in a datacentre, and I would
love to use it for something useful as opposed to sitting there idling
away....

Anyway, just a thought

itself?

That is what happens now. There are, I think, 6 gems mirrors.

There are better solutions already on the table. The problem is that
the gem index is really big. It doesn't need to be as big as it is.

I suspect that most of it doesn't change very often (meaning that the
amount of change from day to day is pretty small, not that there are large
pieces that never change). Perhaps rsync would be of use here.

The CVS head of rubygems will do incremental downloads of the index
file. We are working out the details of testing this on a large site
like RubyForge.

It's coming.

Yup, all gems and large files are served by mirrors:

http://rubyforge.org/credits/

The slowdown now is due to the size of the Gem index (and RubyForge's
limited bandwidth). The Gem guys have a fix in the pipeline for the
former and I think the latter is being worked on as well...

Yours,

Tom
