Hello, I want to update the package I put up for https://rubygems.org/gems/vtkCharts/versions/0.1.0-x86-mswin32-60

However, gem push tells me:

C:\working\vtkCharts\vtkCharts\build\ruby\Release>gem push vtkCharts-0.1.0-x86-mswin32-60.gem
Pushing gem to RubyGems.org...
Repushing of gem versions is not allowed.
Please use gem yank to remove bad gem releases.

When I try to gem yank, I get:

C:\working\vtkCharts\vtkCharts\build\ruby\Release>gem yank vtkCharts -v 0.1.0
Yanking gem from RubyGems.org...
The version 0.1.0 does not exist.

The version listed for this package on rubygems is 0.1.0, what am I doing wrong? Also, why isn't there a gem push --force-overwrite option?

Thanks a lot,
Dan

   Your gem has a "platform" option, so you need to yank with -p x86-mswin32-60.

   Why we don't allow you to overwrite gems:

   • Mirrors that comb the site (with gem mirror) would be out of sync.
   • Clients can't verify the contents of gems (via MD5 or something similar) so they could download different versions, expecting the same code.
   • You're not going to run out of gem versions, just push a new one.

   That didn't work either:

   C:\working\vtkCharts\vtkCharts\build\ruby\Release>gem yank vtkCharts -v 0.1.0 -p x86-mswin32-60
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
   

   invalid option: -p
   

   C:\working\vtkCharts\vtkCharts\build\ruby\Release>gem -v
   1.3.7

   What version of the gemcutter gem do you have? gem list gemcutter. gem yank is not a part of RubyGems proper yet.

   Maybe I haven't released the code with that flag...I need to look into it more.

   In any case, I just hopped into our db and yanked it, so you're all set.

   Thanks a lot,I see that the version has been yanked but push is still not working:

   C:\working\vtkCharts\vtkCharts\build\ruby\Release>gem push vtkCharts-0.1.0-x86-mswin32-60.gem
   Pushing gem to RubyGems.org...

   You can't re-release the same version, even if yanked.
