Yanking all versions of a gem? #1

Closed marshally closed 9 years ago

New index format looks neat!

Question:

In the case of all versions of a gem being yanked, and someone taking the namespace for a different gem: http://help.rubygems.org/kb/gemcutter/removing-a-published-rubygem

Will this cause the ETag check to fail and therefore bundler re-downloads the appropriate files?

Yup, that's exactly why the rtag check exists. That same check also protects against transmission errors and allows us to rewrite the versions list occasionally, consolidating all versions of a single gem down to one line.
