Gem yank - not working

Hi All,

I have distributes a gem. Now i want to remove it from the distribution.
So i have used “gem yank gemname -v version”. But i’m getting the
following error.

ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError)
Unknown command yank

The command “gem help commands” gives the following list, which doesn’t
have “yank” command in it. Please guide me.

For help on a particular command, use ‘gem help COMMAND’.

Commands may be abbreviated, so long as they are unambiguous.
e.g. ‘gem i rake’ is short for ‘gem install rake’.

Hi,

I got the command works.

We need to install “gemcutter”. This will add “yank” to the list of gem
commands.

Then, we can use “gem yank gem_name -v version”. It works.

Thanks,
Priya
