RubyGems mirror to kill the wait

Reading time: ~1 min ❓Shorter than a Rails console boot time

Like Dan Peterson, I have setup a mirror of the RubyGems repository on the same server that is an official RubyForge mirror.

http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org

gem install --source http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org postgres

The RubyForge mirror team is working on a gem mirroring solution… and in the meantime, this is my attempt to help out with the load.

Dan also noted that you could modify the .gemrc file:

gem: --source http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org

Thanks Danp for pointing this out… and Enjoy!

Hi, I'm Robby.

I run Planet Argon, where we help organizations keep their Ruby on Rails apps maintainable—so they don't have to start over. I created Oh My Zsh to make developers more efficient and host both the On Rails and Maintainable.fm podcasts to explore what it takes to build software that lasts.
