What good ruby gem sources would you recommend, besides http://gems.rubyforge.org/ and http://gems.github.com/? It seems that RubyForge is missing most of the gems I look for these days...
The main place where libraries are hosted is RubyGems.org, a public repository of gems that can be searched and installed onto your machine. You may browse and search for gems using the RubyGems website, or use the gem command. Using gem search -r , you can search RubyGems' repository.
GEMNAME - name of the gem to print information about.
The Gem command is included with Ruby 1.9+ now, and is a standard addition to Ruby pre-1.9. Because local_gems relies on group_by , it returns a hash of the gems, where the key is the gem's name, and the value is an array of the gem specifications.
If this is the case, you can look on /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubygems-update-x.x.x and take the directory with the highest value of x.x.x.
This is now the official RubyGems source:
