从github或单独的服务器而不是RubyGems下载所有的gem和依赖项？

Question

My companies networking won't allow us to access almost any site but github, so I'm wondering how I will be able to install gems.

Option 1: point to the github source of all the gems, but wouldn't we also have to specify the dependencies from github as well ?

Option 2: We have a proxy server which has access to RubyGems, and I'm thinking if we can download all the gems and dependencies there then we can source the gems over to that machine. Would I need to literally host the files on that server to point at them from my gemfile?

Are either of those options possible ?

Edit: I think this question solves my problem: How to build a rubygems mirror server?

Answer 1

You can source your gems from 'gems.github.com'. They publish a list of gems that can be sourced from them here: http://gems.github.com/list.html As I understand the list is no longer being updated though, so you'll run into problems eventually.

I guess you could try to run a local mirror. Found this after a quick google: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-mirror

That said, I'm with mpapis. If you are working for a company that wants you to code Ruby and they don't allow use of rubygems.org I'd ask myself some serious questions about whether I'd want to be employed there.
