how about something like this:

but wrapped up for rubygems setup.rb?

Hmm. Not positive, but looks like that is dependent on the existence of a git branch named "stable". I don't think that is really relevant to this problem, which would be a rubyforge URL which always pulls the latest published version of the files on the rubyforge rubygems project.

Only the install points to a stable branch, the installer itself installs from several possible branches.

The point is, though, rubygems release rake task could upload such a file as static content under http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/install-latest.rb or similar. One could then use the same trick.

With rubygems, you could even pack up a little trick to install from the rubygems_update package and use a query on the source_index to find it maybe, or keep a yaml file with a pointer to the current version, or whatever.



Thanks though,
