   Dear all,

   As a temporary solution if your gem located @ github, you can clone source code via git or download as zip and build you gem locally.

   Example:

   1. Checked out https://github.com/guard/guard-coffeedripper to directory
   2. Cd to directory and do "gem build guard-coffeedripper.gemsepc"
   3. Do 'gem install guard-coffeedripper-0.1.3.gem'

   Hope it helps!
   Happy new year!

   How to avoid bundler being your single point of failure anyways?

   Bundler in fact is not an issue, rubygems.org is.

    Try add 'http://production.cf.rubygems.org' as source

    Thanks as well Jens. I guess it's time to think about running a mirror of rubygems if I need fault-tolerance...

    run into the same issue on push master to Heroku.

    solved by replacing source in GemFile to 'http://production.cf.rubygems.org'

    thanks
