Monitoring tools for new gem releases?

Question

Does anyone know any tools to monitor and alert me when new versions of gems named in my gemfile are released?

It can be as simple as a rake task that reports my current version and latest version, or as fantastic as a background process that logs messages to the console whenever new versions are available.

Answer 1

Bundler 1.1 introduced the team

bundle outdated 

But, as you already mentioned, for those who have version 1.0, there is a bundle-outdated gem.

Answer 2

I use this site: package watcher

You simply upload your gem file or link to it, and then you get a notification via RSS when an update is available.

Answer 3

I had the same need, but not only for bundler, also for npm and pacman (archlinux pacman manager) checkzilla .

It is extensible, so there are other notifications (console, email, twitter, ..). This is a beta version of the software at the moment, but I use it on my servo and it works quite well.

Answer 4

I also use a tracking node , but I configured If This Than That to email me whenever there is an update. This way I get a proactive notification.

There is also a commercial Gemnasium site, but I have not used it.

Answer 5

This is exactly what Gemnasium does.
