gem outdated
Posted: January 24th, 2010 | Author: samsm | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »I used to run gem update all the time and just get whatever updates it gave me.
Now I run gem outdated first and I recommend it. It’s easy to miss what is being updated with gem updated. Particularly when a <1.0 gem gets bumped a minor version, that’s worth looking at to see what’s up.
outdated and update both take awhile to run. If there are just one or two gems on the outdated list I just type them in to the gem update:
ex:
sudo gem update # 1+ minutes?
sudo gem update do_sqlite # 10 seconds
