<p>Long ago and far away, in a land of scientist and fuzzy though,
I once wrote a database and called it purple.<br>
The project is still hosted on rubyforge (though I'm asking them to
remove it too), and that's probably where you picked it up.</p>
<p>Since I see no use for it , don't even agree with it's design
anymore and never got it past beta (so it's potentially
hamful),<br>
I would like it removed from your list. Thank you.</p>
<p>Otherwise, great service and for more recent stuff I'll be happy
to use this.</p>
<p>Regards<br>
Torsten</p></div>Torstentag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/13471542010-03-31T18:14:23Z2010-03-31T18:14:23ZGem removal<div><p>I've yanked both versions of <a href=
"http://rubygems.org/gems/purple">http://rubygems.org/gems/purple</a>
for you, if someone in the future wants to claim that namespace
they can now. I think there's any huge security flaws (as in sudo
rm -rf / type stuff) then we can remove it permanently, but at
least now it won't show up in the gem index.</p></div>Nick Quaranto
