- pjhyett 16y agoThis is infinitely easier to support than building rubygems. Fortunately, the ecosystem that has been built around Rubygems.org is a far better solution than what we provided.
- jackowayed 16y agoThe difference is that they were actually building the rubygems for people. Here, you upload the already-built .apk, and the QR just makes it a little easier to have your phone download the .apk and install it.
- grandalf 16y agoIt's my impression that the feature was dropped b/c it didn't solve the underlying problem with gem versioning/distribution. Github got behind gemcutter early and urged everyone to make the switch. In the rare case when you want to install a gem version of an obscure fork, you can just install it as a submodule instead.
