gps gems

what's the deal with the gps gems?

`gem install gps` installs gps-0.0.1 by Nolan Darilek.

If you download the gem from http://rubyforge.org/pr... then you
get gps-0.0.1.5 by Sascha Teske.

The licenses are different, some of the code is the same....

There are probably two of the same name from different sources. Since
the older one already exists the newer one will not enter the index.
Check with Tom Copeland to see where gps-0.0.1 came from.

Yup, the "gps" gem is from the "hermes" project:
