Has anyone been able to rsync to their project dir on rubyforge? I get the following error message: protocol version mismatch – is your shell clean? (see the rsync man page for an explanation) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(64) There was some discussion last year about whether rubyforge would support rsync or not, so maybe support is just not there. If it is supported, then I’ve got something configured wrong (doubtful: I use rsync to several other servers). ---

Gavin S. asked for this in the distant past: [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=179&group\_id=5&atid=104](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=179&group_id=5&atid=104) So much to do, so little time… but anyhow, we do allow SFTP, so that might be workable for you.

Hi Ara - Hm… and you’re wanting those gems to be included in the gem index, is that right? Yours, tom ---

There is a SOAP service, although I can’t say I’ve used it: [http://rubyforge.org/soap/](http://rubyforge.org/soap/) Maybe that can yield up some good results? Yours, Tom ---
