It would also be good to allow re-pushing an existing (identical) gem with a new remote URL, to allow users to actively offload current giants rather than waiting for new releases. That could immediately reduce the size and bandwidth load for RG.org.
For example, JRuby team could re-push all jruby-jars gems using S3 URLs at a moment's notice. - Charlie On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 1:48 AM, Trans <transf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Allow developers to mark old versions as "unmaintained" and then delete > such versions after a specific period of time without download. > > If there is a desire to keep them for posterity or perhaps for just-in-case > support reasons, these deleted gems could be archived to someone's > dedicated local machine for an extended period. > > > _______________________________________________ > RubyGems-Developers mailing list > http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems > RubyGems-Developers@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers _______________________________________________ RubyGems-Developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems RubyGems-Developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
