I would like to create a migration to add test data to other developer's environments using the data that I have manually added to my own test environment over the past month or so.

I'm writing a non-Rails ruby application (gasp!) and would like to be able to include all the gem dependencies which the application requires in a vendor subdirectory. This would be similar to how http://gemsonrails.rubyforge.org/ works for Rails apps. The goal here is to avoid the situation my team currently experiences when a new dep...
How can you determine which rubygem is being used in response to a "require" statement? gem which doesn't seem to help. Background: for the project hornsby-herbarium-parser, I'm using the gem roo.

In this question, I mentioned my assumption that rubyforge gems are more official, authoritative, and stable than github forks. One of the people replying to my question said that my assumption might not be accurate. What have you observed? Do people use github to release early and release often, only putting stable releases on rubyforg...
Can I ask ruby or rubygems to use the latest gem regardless of its source? As mentioned in the update to this question, it turns out that ruby is using an older github gem (hmcgowan-roo 1.3.5) over a newer rubyforge gem that was installed more recently (roo 1.3.6). My suspicion is that the magic pixy (either ruby or rubygems) looks und...

I have seen many sites which provide the whole list of Rails plugins, Ruby libraries and Ruby gems, but we hardly use few of them and some may not suit our requirement and we spend a whole lot of time searching for useful plugins which suits our requirement.

Although my application works, I can't do any database migrations because I get a "Missing these required gems" error. Also if I run rake gems:install these gem...

I'm digging around trying to find a good set of tools for creating console applications, as most of the settings I expect to be using Ruby in the coming months won't be webapps, but server-side scripts.
