Package: rubygems
Version: 1.8.24-1
Severity: important

Hello,

It seems that when gem install is run, it fetches gems via http by default in 
debian. This can be easily configured to use https, and should be configured 
that way by default in debian.

This is how it can be done manually:

gem sources --add https://rubygems.org
gem sources --remove http://rubygems.org/

This configures ~/.gemrc to have:

:sources:
- https://rubygems.org

This should be done internally in rubygems to use https instead by default in 
Debian.

thank you!
micah
