question about gemfury
Hi, I haven't used Gemfury at all (yet) and I've only briefly clicked around...
I hope you don't mind answering some questions that might be covered elsewhere that
I just haven't found yet.
I want to distribute code to RubySteps members. I've been using git, which is obviously awesome,
but it doesn't really let me limit who gets what and when. I thought that was an advantage at
first, but it turns out that people get overwhelmed when I just throw the whole thing at them.
I could create a separate git repository for each member and push their new code there...
but I was wondering what sort of access control Gemfury gives me in distributing gems.
Say I have 3 gems representing lessons 1-3, can I give individuals access to ONLY gem 1?
Then when I'm ready, give them access to gem 2?
I feel like that approach would work a lot better than trying to maintain git repositories
for each member (and I'm getting a headache just thinking of supporting whatever merge
conflicts arise when they make local modifications)
So... is Gemfury for me? :)
Thanks,
Pat

Gemfury doesn't have per-package access control at this time.
