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?
