Release 1.1.1 fixes some bugs.

Bugs Fixed:

* Gem.prefix now returns non-nil only when RubyGems was installed
outside
sitelibdir or libdir.
* The `gem server` gem list now correctly links to gem details.
* `gem update --system` now passes --no-format-executable to setup.rb.
* Gem::SourceIndex#refresh! now works with multiple gem repositories.
* Downloaded gems now go into --install-dir's cache directory.
* Various fixes to downloading gem metadata.
* `gem install --force` now ignores network errors too.
* `gem pristine` now rebuilds extensions.
* `gem update --system` now works on virgin Apple ruby.
* Gem::RemoteFetcher handles Errno::ECONNABORTED.
* Printing of release notes fixed.

For a full list of changes to RubyGems including credits, see the
ChangeLog
file.

== How can I get RubyGems?

NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may
want to
install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system.

If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all
you need to do is:

$ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root)

(Note: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly
installed rubygems-update gems).

If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still
do it in two steps:

$ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root)
$ update_rubygems (... here too)

If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem
approach to getting software ... doing it manually:

1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gr...
2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)

== To File Bugs

The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&am...

When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the
issue.

If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output.
You can
do that with `gem --debug the_command`.

== Thanks

Keep those gems coming!

Does

gem update --system

not work?

N.B. The double dashes in front of "system".

If you try to update from a previous version (1.0.1) works without
issues, funny fact:

$gem update --system
Updating RubyGems
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.ruby...
Nothing to update

$gem install rubygems-update
Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.1.1
1 gem installed

:-P

Just run 'update_rubygems' after that :-)

Tested under:
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-30 patchlevel 5000) [i386-mingw32]

But it seems the glitch is platform-irrelevant.

I waited until it appeared in the index for me before posting.

Does:

gem list -r rubygems-update

report a 1.1.1? If not, try:

gem list -r --all rubygems-update

Yes, it does. But gem update --system is not updating rubygems:

$ gem list -r rubygems-update
