gem.coop namespaces

Last week, we at gem.coop announced support for namespaces that you can publish to and use namespaced gems in Bundler today. Our original post outlines how namespaces improve package security, but in this post we’ll go through how to use them and how Bundler handles namespaced gems. We’ve already had 166 people sign up to try the beta, and we have 175 namespaces live today. Thank you for trying us out! Please keep the feedback coming. You can sign up at https://beta.gem.coop/sign_up In the immediate term, we’re working on better support for gems that have been precompiled (we’ve had an overzealous gem version check when you push gems), but we’re pretty close to having it.
