Yesterday gem 1.2.0 was released. This is a release we’ve all been waiting for! This version doesn’t have the ‘bulkupdate’ and doesn’t consume that much memory as before. So update your gem for the last time with the -B parameter. Like this:
gem update --system -B 1000000
Before version 1.2.0 I had to do on my VPS:
gem install -B 1000000 --no-rdoc --no-ri rails
But now I can do:
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri rails
And it’s finished in a sec!
