Overview

Amateurish prototype of a tool to check the installed gems looking for leaves that can be removed.

I call leaves those gems with no reverse dependency that can be removed without breaking anything. Of course, users may desire to keep something around even if nothing depends on it, so this tool looks for and loads a simple YAML configuration file:

ignore:
  RedCloth: >= 0
  capistrano: >= 2
  mongrel_cluster: >= 0
  piston: >= 0
  rake: >= 0.7
  rubygems-update: >= 0
  ruport-util: = 0.10.0
  sources: >= 0

gem_leaves can generate its own configuration file merging the leaves list with the content of an already loaded configuration file (if any). The tool looks for the default configuration file, .gem_leaves.yml, in the current working directory and the user’s home directory.
