Hi, Just wondering if anyone else who maintains gems on [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) has posted a gem recently and seen it not migrate to the gem mirrors? I post Mongrel 0.3.12.3 and it’s not there yet, but not sure if that’s because I formatted it wrong or some such. Thanks. Zed A.

This might be an obvious question, but did you build with 1.8.3 If so, you probably hit the dreaded bug which makes your gems never go into rotation. ---

Nope, 1.8.4 but they updated eventually. I’d heard of the 1.8.3 and was just wondering if there were other known things to avoid. Zed A. Shaw > **[Zed A. shaw](https://zedshaw.com/)** > > Personal essays and writings by Zed A. Shaw. [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/) ---

Yup, it can be about an hour or so before a gem propagates out to all the mirrors. Dennis Oeklers and I are working on a method to push out new gems that should reduce that delay considerably.

Just catching up now… Yours, Tom ---
