Hehehe.

Actually this is meant as a forced way to have people _not_ think about ASCII too much, as I think that happens way too often :-) However, if there are technical problems I will rename it to, for instance, microgem. But until then I prefer the shorter version.

For us on the mac the way to type this character is ALT+M, see the excellent Keyboard Viewer for this kind of info. (Which you might need to enable in System Preferences -> International -> Input menu)

Cheers,
Eloy

it looks like a very interesting project but may I suggest you drop the µ letter that most of us probably don't know how to type : ( Sticking to ASCII might be better.

Hi,

As most people know installing gems on MacRuby still fails for most gems.
I was getting so annoyed looking through the source of RubyGems
that I decided to write a clean room implementation of it.
For now it only does installing, but was the only goal since that's what fails on MacRuby. It might try to do more to replace RubyGems in the future, discussion/patches are all welcome.
For instance, I'm gonna use it do gem vendoring in Rucola.

Anyways, to the real interesting part of this mail :-)
I was actually gonna wait with a first release until MicroGem was able to bootstrap itself and install, but I haven't had time for that yet. So for now follow these instructions:

Get source:
 $ git clone git://github.com/alloy/microgem.git
 $ cd microgem

Install the remote gem:
$ sudo env PRODUCTION=true macruby ./bin/µgem install alloy- microgem --simple --debug

Then to install a gem:
 $ sudo macµgem install mocha --simple

For more information see: http://github.com/alloy/microgem/tree/master

Looking forward to reactions.

Cheers,
Eloy
