Hi,

I noticed that when I upload a new gem to Rubyforge, it takes several
hours until I can install it via "gem". If you try within that period
you are getting a 404 error (at least here in Germany, maybe the mirror
is very slow), which is annoying and leads to all kind of bug reports,
and that you have to delay the announcement of a new version for hours.

I understand that mirrors are neccessary in this growing Ruby community,
but if the index list (the list of available gems) would be fetched from
the mirror, the 404 wouldn't happen.

Alternatively, a message other than 404 would be helpful to the user
that he or she should retry later. Or what about the idea to
contact the master rubyforge server, in case of 404?

Hi Michael -

Another option is for RubyForge to just serve up gems for the first 24
hours or so after they're released. Jeremy Kemper did some nice rewrite
rules for this:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=14803&group_id=5&atid=104

Just need to get that into place...

Yours,

Tom
