Homepage on rubygems.org

[mcarpenter]

Hi,

The homepage for this gem at rubygems.org points to a deprecated Google Code repo instead of here. Can you please update it? (I just hit #15 and didn't know where to find help).

Thanks.

Fair enough. Not actually sure how to change it, but I guess it works from the gem metadata so will update after a new release as that has already been changed.

Hmm, I've pushed a new release which has github as the homepage, but the link didn't change. Maybe it takes a while to refresh? I can't find any way to edit, but if you know how please let me know.

I see your update in the gemspec, and I checked there is no other mention of "code.google" in the repo yet the old homepage pesists at rubygems.org.

I checked by API (GET https://rubygems.org/api/v1/gems/ruby-msg.json) and it is also in the response:

{
  "name": "ruby-msg",
  "downloads": 760428,
  "version": "1.5.3",
  ...
  "homepage_uri": "http://code.google.com/p/ruby-msg",
  ...
}

This lead me to gemspec metadata which was new for rubygems 2.0. I think you need to add that section to the gemspec to make the change to the homepage URI in the web UI:

s.metadata = {
  "bug_tracker_uri"   => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/issues",
  "changelog_uri"     => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/CHANGELOG.md",
  "documentation_uri" => "https://www.example.info/gems/bestgemever/0.0.1",
  "homepage_uri"      => "https://bestgemever.example.io",
  "mailing_list_uri"  => "https://groups.example.com/bestgemever",
  "source_code_uri"   => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever",
  "wiki_uri"          => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/wiki"
  "funding_uri"       => "https://example.com/donate"
}

Interesting. Looks like s.homepage is still documented, and it seems wrong for it to be using stale data instead. Anyway will try duplicating it into metadata to see if that helps.

Yep that seems to have done it - thanks for the pointer.
