gem update --except ferret

Hi,

I am on a windows machine and when I try to do a gem update, it always fails after trying to update ferret, which has a windows compiled version a few versions behind the current native compiled on the fly version.
What I was wondering, if there could be a option to exclude a gem from trying to update,

i.e.; gem update --except ferret

or, if there can be a command line option to list gems needing to be updated, which we can then do individually

gem update --list_outdated  --> [out1, out2,..]

gem install out1
gem install out2
...


thanks

dom

There is no current option for that, however ...

This already works.&nbsp; For example:

  ; gem update rake flexmock

will update both gems.

Jim,

Thanks for the reply.&nbsp;

I haven't really browsed the code but there must be a method that gets an array of the gems that need to be updated.
Can we have an option or command to just list these gems that need updating.

gem outdated&nbsp; => [gem1,gem2,gem3,ferret]

gem update gem1 gem2 gem3

Thanks

dom

Interesting.  This reminds me of the --dry-run option in
Rake that lists
the things rake would do if it wasn't in dry run mode.
