The RubyForge gem repository gets updated regularly with new and updated gems. When you run the gem command -- before doing anything else -- it has to make sure it's got a current list of all available gems. With previous versions of RubyGems (< 0.9.0), the gem command would have to download the entire current list of gems (for a given repository -- by default just the RubyForge one) whenever it noticed it was out of date. The current (0.9.0) gem command downloads this list incrementally. When it tells you that there are 21 gems available, I think it's partly supposed be a reassuring note to let you know that the repository has been significantly updated since the last time you checked. :) ---John _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
