Gemfury supports Python, so OK for now.
Re:Ask HN: How do manage external dependencies with Golang? on Tuesday November 15, 2016 @10:21AM (#12958706)
Michael from Gemfury here. We've been using Golang for a couple of years with a dependency manager that we've built internally and will shortly release to the public. If you'd like to try it, check it out here: https://melody.sh/docs
Rather than creating new methods for a class, YAML.load can be used to call one of a few specific methods ([]=, init_with, or yaml_initialize) for the specified class. This exploit found a class where string arguments to the []= method are inserted into an eval() block, thus becoming code.

A few more details here: http://blog.gemfury.com/post/42259456238/rubygems-vulnerabil...

Gemfury also supports private Python packages

For a long time Amazon fulfilled only their own products (and some large partners) from their warehouses. Now, it's offered to everyone as Fulfillment by Amazon service. No doubt Amazon will offer the locker service, if the market is there.

It offers all the advantages of a cloud service - on demand, pay as you go, no maintenance. Very similar to Artifactory Online (cloud version)

Every language has a separate way of doing packages, explaining the individual benefit based on your preference is a more clear message to get across. The other benefit is it helps us choose where to focus.

And, funny story: the word "weapon" is A/B tested with the word "repository" because I had the same doubts. Guess which one converts better? Hint: It's not "repository"

That's because we started the site before Bootstrap was released, but as we iterated, we ported much of the site over.

And you're spot-on about Gemfury's purpose

I cringe too, but the reason it's used is because it works - great way to explain something new based on something you already know in a few words.

Thank you and Twitter - Bootstrap makes things so much easier.

The service currently services RubyGems customers from the root domain. We figured Hacker News is a wider audience than just Ruby and would be of great help to decide which direction we should go next.
Re:Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers on Friday February 17, 2012 @08:51AM (#3603241)
Sorry for the confusion - we figured it'd be easier to explain the service for each individual platform separately, rather than all at once. Hence the up-front selection.

Dropbox stores files in the cloud which are then easily accessible by authorized computers - Gemfury does that for code packages.
Re:Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers on Friday February 17, 2012 @08:05AM (#3603125)
Great idea. Thanks for the suggestion
Re:Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers on Friday February 17, 2012 @08:04AM (#3603123)
Thank you for the "more info" suggestion. Which language and package repository are you interested in?
Re:Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers on Friday February 17, 2012 @08:03AM (#3603122)
Maybe one day :)
Re:Show HN: Private RubyGem Server on Sunday February 12, 2012 @09:51PM (#3583981)
Not sure what you mean about packaging process. Are you talking about combining "gem build" and "fury push" into one command?

As far as pricing, unlike Github, our $9 pricing is for unlimited Gems. Can you suggest a plan that would work for you (# of Gems, collaborators, price, etc)?

Show HN: Private RubyGem Server

TL;DR - http://www.gemfury.com - pre-launch feedback appreciatedHello HN,In true hacker tradition, a tool built for ourselves often grows into a service of its own. In the past few months, we've been polishing our private RubyGem server into something that other Ruby developers can use. Today, I'd like to ask for your feedback on where we stand and whether we're "launch-ready".The service is...

Thanks for your help with beta testing the service. Glad you're not letting this little bit of fun affect your opinion.
Re:Gemfury A/B testing their landing page on Sunday January 29, 2012 @06:08PM (#3526615)
Thanks for the support. Judging by other comments, the pitchforks are never fully put away on literal-net :)
