rubygems-update version 1.3.5 has been released! - [http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/](http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems) - [http://rubygems.org/](http://rubygems.org/) RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby. This gem is an update for the RubyGems software. You must have an installation of RubyGems before this update can be applied. See Gem for information on RubyGems (or `ri Gem`) To upgrade to the latest RubyGems, run: $ gem install --system # you might need to be an administrator or root NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to use the following instructions if you see “Nothing to update”. If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps: $ gem install rubygems-update # again, might need to be admin/root $ update\_rubygems # … here too If you don’t have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually: 1. Download from: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=126](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126) 2. Unpack into a directory and cd there 3. Install with: ruby setup.rb # you may need admin/root privilege For more details and other options, see: ruby setup.rb --help Changes: ### 1.3.5 / 2009-07-21 Bug fixes: - Fix use of prerelease gems. - Gem.bin\_path no longer escapes path with spaces. Bug #25935 and #26458. Deprecation Notices: - Bulk index update is no longer supported (the code currently remains, but not the tests) - Gem::manage\_gems was removed in 1.3.3. - Time::today was removed in 1.3.3. ---

Didn’t you mean… gem update --system ---

Using Windows Vista… Updated to RubyGems 1.3.5… gem -v shows 1.3.4 gem list shows rubygems-update(1.3.5) and nothing else. I even tried the commands out while within C:\ruby\bin which is the only path variable set in my environment. Any idea what happened? ---

Hrm… Well for some reason, all my gems still work and I still show the old environment except for when I do a gem list now that I upgraded. I did a gem env and see the following on windows: RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.4 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-mswin32-60 - GEM PATHS: - /lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - C:/Users/Joel/.gem/ruby/1.8 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update\_sources =\> true - :verbose =\> true - :benchmark =\> false - :backtrace =\> false - :bulk\_threshold =\> 1000 - :sources =\> [“[http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/)”, “[http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)”, “[http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)”] - REMOTE SOURCES: - [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/) - [http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com) - [http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com) My best guess here (and I’m no expert on rubygems) is that there are two gem paths and the the latter one (c:/Users/Joel/.gem/ruby/1.8) is the one that this latest update defaulted to for some reason. How do I remove just that gem path from GEM PATHS so that /lib/ruby/gems/1.8 remains? /lib/ruby/gems/1.8 from C:\ruby contains all of my gems… I searched the web and can’t find any instructions on removing a specific GEM PATH. ---
