The Future of Ruby Library Distribution: The Gemcutter Interview

When GitHub phased out Ruby Gem building a few weeks ago, they recommended the Gemcutter project as a replacement Gem host for folks who weren't already using the default source, RubyForge. The big news earlier this week is that the RubyForge and RubyGems teams are also getting behind Gemcutter, which will become the default gem host for the entire Ruby community (as rubygems.org).

To shed a little more light on the nature of these changes and what they mean for the future of Ruby package distribution, I sat down with Nick Quaranto , the original creator and maintainer of Gemcutter.
