BackUp Gems?

[Marcelo Paniagua]

I need to take all the gems that I have installed in my computer at work
to my home computer. What do I do? simply backup the ruby\lib\ruby\gems
folder? or do I
need to configure anything else?

Thanks

I'm no gem expert, but on my system, ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache contains
all the gems I've installed - copying and installing these should work.

If that's not adequate, you should be able to get the gem sources from
ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems - which may install by themselves, or you can
compile them into gems using the gemspecs in r/l/r/g/1.8/specifications.

Cheers,
