Yes, stickler and geminabox are similar in functionality and could be merged
into some lightweight standalone gemserver. They both allow for the upload
of gems into their respective servers, and they both can be uses with --source.
They differ in that geminabox uses the 'gem inabox' gem command which uploads
the gem to an '/upload' uri in the geminabox server and stickler implements some
of the server side of the gemcutter /api/v1. I would actually like to do away
with stickler's client side commandline and use 'gem push' and 'gem yank'
natively, but the only way to switch RUBYGEM_HOST, at least from my digging,
is via an environment variable.
Along those lines, I'd like to get a patch together to have 'push', 'yank', etc
either take a --source option, or a --rubygems-host option, or have something in
.gem/config or similar to allow for different targets of gemcutter commands.
Thoughts?
As for sharing code on the rack side between rubygems/gemcutter and stickler,
That should be feasible. Stickler's server is a stack of sinatra middleware.
I've separated them out into different functionalities:
Gemcutter : implementing gemcutter specific calls (push/yank)
Index : implements the gem server functionality (specs/marshal/gem/etc )
There's a few others in there for specific use cases of stickler. These
two are what share functionality with gemcutter.
enjoy,
