How do I list all versions of a gem available at a remote site?
Well, it was easier than I thought (well, not really, let's say as easy as it should be):
gem list rhc --remote --all
Which returns:
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
rhc (0.84.15, 0.84.13, 0.83.9, 0.82.18, 0.81.14, 0.80.5, 0.79.5, 0.77.8, 0.75.9, 0.74.6, 0.74.5, 0.73.14, 0.72.29, 0.71.2, 0.69.6, 0.69.3, 0.68.5)
rhcp (0.2.18, 0.2.17, 0.2.16, 0.2.15, 0.2.14, 0.1.9, 0.1.8, 0.1.7, 0.1.6, 0.1.5, 0.1.4, 0.1.3, 0.1.2)
rhcp_shell (0.2.12, 0.2.11, 0.0.9, 0.0.7, 0.0.6, 0.0.5, 0.0.4, 0.0.3, 0.0.2, 0.0.1)
To extend @eyalev's answer, if you want a list of one version per line, here's a one-liner:
gem search '^rspec$' --all \
| grep -o '\((.*)\)$' \
| tr -d '() ' \
| tr ',' "\n" \
| sort
0.0.10
0.1.0
0.1.1
# etc.
To make this a bit more re-usable, you could write some functions (pardon my limited bash skills):
function extract_gem_versions() {
echo "$1" \
| grep -o '\((.*)\)$' \
| tr -d '() ' \
| tr ',' "\n";
}
function gem_versions() {
local gem_name="$1";
local pattern="^${gem_name}$";
local vers_str="$(gem search ${pattern} --all)";
extract_gem_versions "$vers_str";
}
gem_versions rspec | sort
0.0.10
0.1.0
0.1.1
# etc.
According to RubyGem's Guide you should use the search
keyword. So the command could be:
gem search rhc --all
If you want the exact name use:
gem search ^rhc$ --all
If you want to include prerelease versions use --pre
gem search ^rhc$ --pre
And if you're using zsh
add quotes:
gem search '^rhc$' --all
