gem-repair

A RubyGems plugin to repair gems with missing extensions.

Installation

Build and install the gem locally:

gem build gem-repair.gemspec
gem install ./gem-repair-0.1.0.gem

Or, if you are managing it within a Bundler context, add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'gem-repair', path: './labs/gem-repair' # Adjust path as necessary

Usage

After installation, the gem repair command will be available:

gem repair

You can also specify the number of parallel threads to use:

gem repair -j 8  # Use 8 threads
gem repair --jobs 2  # Use 2 threads

This command will:

1. Find all installed gems that are missing their compiled C extensions.
2. Attempt to reinstall these gems using multiple threads.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, you can run rake test to run the tests (though no tests are set up in this initial version).

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in gem-repair.gemspec, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to a configured gem server.
