gem-sparse-mirror - Mirror parts of Rubygems

A script that extends rubygems-mirror to download only parts of Rubygems. It uses the bundler API to resolve all dependencies of the intended gems and completely mirrors those.

Installation

Run:

$ gem install gem-sparse-mirror

Usage

Like https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-mirror, this reads .gems/mirrorrc, with 2 additional attributes, only and except:

---
- from: http://rubygems.org/
  to: /path/to/your/sync-directory
  parallelism: 10
  except:
    - mail
  only:
    - rake
    - rails

And then run:

$ gem-sparse-mirror

This will resolve all dependencies of rails and rake and sync all of them, but never sync mail (for example, if you ship your own version).

This script syncs all versions of the found gems.

gem-sparse-mirror does not create or update a gem index. This can be done using rubygems generate_index command:

$ cd /path/to/your/sync-directory
$ gem generate_index --no-legacy --modern --update gems/

Word of warning

This does not supply a gem server. You will have to manage that server yourself.
