Support of `--pre` #15

Closed oschrenk closed 8 years ago

oschrenk commented 9 years ago

I wanted to install octopress 3.0 rc, which is normally installed via

gem install octopress --pre

But

brew gem install octopress --pre

fails with

Could not find a valid gem 'octopress'

Hi @oschrenk

Thanks for opening an issue about this. I have opened a pull request that should solve the issue here, so hopefully we can get that into homebrew core somewhat soon here.

As mentioned in the pull request, it is a bit of a hacky workaround, so I see that proposed method potentially being depreciated in the future, but for now should solve your problem.

@oschrenk I apologize on the time frame that this has taken to get a fix out. I just had a quick second to look over what needed to be done to finish this off and realized that Octopress now has a official release available, which should allow you to install it with brew-gem.

Again, sorry for the delay on this, and hopefully I can find some time to finish up testing the fix I have in the PR above.

I'm not super comfortable supporting this feature. Closing.
