Stickler is a tool to organize and maintain an internal gem repository. Primarily, you would want to use Stickler if:
-
You have proprietary gems that you want to have available via a gem server so you may
gem installthem. -
You would like to have a local mirror of third party gems from either http://rubygems.org or some other gem server.
-
You want both (1) and (2) in the same server.
Installing stickler may be done via the standard gem installation
gem install stickler
Or downloaded from http://github.com/copiousfreetime/stickler/downloads
Stickler is broken up into a few commandline programs.
| stickler |
Used to add gems to and remove gems from the stickler-server |
| stickler-server |
The server process that holds the gems. |
| stickler-passenger-config |
A helper process to generate Passenger configurations for stickler-server |
The easiest way to get up and running with stickler is to run the standalone server stickler-server and then use stickler to interact with it.
% mkdir -p /tmp/stickler-test % stickler-server start --daemonize /tmp/stickler-test

The man pages that ship with the gem. They may be viewed if you also install the gem-man gem.
% gem install gem-man % gem man stickler View which manual? 1. stickler-passenger-config(1) 2. stickler-server(1) 3. stickler(1) >
If you want to do development on stickler, I suggest using RVM and creating a gemset for stickler.
Then run rake how_to_contribute
