Here is an update.
Tom has installed the indexing software on RubyForge. Based on initial
timings, I put the cutoff at 50 outdated gems. In other words, if there
are more that 50 gems to be updated, it is better to do a bulk update
(with one humongous file) rather than a bunch of little updates of small
files. That number is subject to further testing, but it seems a good
first cut.
There is a beta version of the gem software available that supports
incremental updating. You can get it from CVS head, or with:
gem update --system --source http://onestepback.org/betagems
Give this a whirl and report any problems back here on the list.
Thanks.
