Hello, I'm trying to create an Mac OS X interface to rubygems which should be part of an RubyCocoa IDE. I've looked at another application (rubyslippers) which has a GUI for rubygems, but it seems to me that it just uses the 'gem' command line tool. Which is an option, but I would prefer to be able to use some public Gem api if available.
Right now I did some testing with the internals of rubygems like: <code> require 'rubygems/remote_installer' require 'yaml' query = 'event' result = Gem::RemoteInstaller.new().search(query) </code> which returns an array of gems that have 'event' in their name, but it doesn't for instance group them like the results shown on the command line. So for a gem like 'eventmachine' instead of 1 result with multiple versions I would get multiple 'eventmachine' results for the different versions available. Also it only searches based on the title of the gem, not the description... So to wrap it up, I could of course revert to wrapping the 'gem' command line tool, and maybe even scraping the rubyforge.org search results page (because it also searches on the description). But I rather wouldn't. Could someone tell me if such an interface exists and maybe point me to some documentation or an example?? Kind regards, Eloy _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
