I have a gem, all packaged and ready for installation, on rubyforge.  
But I seems to be missing one step.

I uploaded the first gem more than 24 hours ago and remote installation  
of the gem still fails. Is there something I need to do to get the gem  
index to list the gem? Or do I just put the gem file on rubyforge and  
it’s all auto handled from there?

Thanks for the help,  
-Alex

It’s supposed to be automatic. It was for mine.
