Hm, interesting, yeah, seems like the date and filename (foobar-1.2.3.tar.gz) gets you most of the way there. > > While we're on the subject, it would be extremely nice if the urls to > files were friendlier.

For external links, maybe we can generate a huge rewritemap... hm, or have a custom route that looks things up by "old_frs_file_id"... well, lots of possibilties, but yup, it would be good to keep those external links working.

No worries, yup, we'll keep all that data (and the files) in some form. > RubyForge release cycle is overkill, that one of the reasons I think > gemcutter make gem releases blossom, it lowered the release barrier. Excellent, so sounds like a lighter release mechanism is a good thing... glad to hear it.... Yours, Tom |
