I broke RubyGems.org
TweetYes that’s right.
I broke RubyGems.org.
No April Fools Joke! (although this did happen after midnight HKT)
… I’ve hidden the cause so they have a chance to fix it…
… but its a unicode thing …
I packaged it with gem-this, and did a `gem push` it turned out http://rubygems.org was down!
I went to bed hoping it would go away, and woke up on April 1st morning to find an email;
Hi Matthew! Looks like you just found a bug that made our homepage unhappy.
=> #<Rubygem id: 39928, name: …,
I straight up deleted that gem. Can you send or paste the gem/gemspec
with that so we can make sure this doesn’t happen again?

So, there you go!
Rubygems.org currently can’t support unicode gem names!
