Ruby library release — gem is currently a security placeholder #88

Open reidab opened 1 month ago

reidab commented 1 month ago

The Ruby version of this library makes reference to installing with gem install flexpolyline and is set up as a gem with that name.

However, the published version of this package at https://rubygems.org/gems/flexpolyline/ is an empty placeholder set up by @mensfeld of the RubyGems Security Team, presumably because this library was never actually published.

I believe someone from this project needs to contact RubyGems to regain control of the package and then cut a working release so that the library is accessible.

@reidab, yes, exactly. I did this because packages like this are frequent target to brandjacking. Happy to hand it to the team :)
