Add "how to host private gems" to Readme

[fapdash]

I tried to drop my .gem file into /target/hosted but it's not showing up at http://0.0.0.0:8989/hosted/.
It would be really helpful if you could add a paragraph describing how to add gems.

[mkristian]

right, I never added it as I never added tests for it. will find some time over the weekend.

Thank you, I'm trying to use/serve a private/local gem in a gradle build with jruby gradle plugin, if that matters.

[mkristian]

I guessed it already since I saw an issue from you on the gradle list - yes it is the right usecase. I just do not have too much extra time during the week (anymore)

[mkristian]

still pending . . .

[mkristian]

@fap- I did indeed to add some code to get the upload working - thanx for asking. could you check it out and test this on your side before I make a new release ?

[fapdash]

I pushed a gem with nexus.

gem nexus asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.gem 
[...]
Uploading gem to Nexus...
OK

Server saved it

[INFO] hosted: /gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.gem - RubygemsFile[type=GEM, storage=/gems/a/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.gem, remote=/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.gem, name=asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted, state=PAYLOAD, payload=HttpInputOverHTTP@6d87243f[c=1389056,s=EOF]]

I can download the gem from
http://localhost:8989/hosted/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.gem
But there is no pom
http://localhost:8989/hosted/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.pom => 404

Using I tested this with jruby gradle base plugin 1.3.3 with their suggested config.

jruby {
    defaultRepositories false
}

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://localhost:8989/releases' }
}

dependencies {
    gems 'rubygems:asciidoctor-pdf:1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted'
}

Resource missing. [HTTP GET: http://localhost:8989/releases/rubygems/asciidoctor-pdf/1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.pom]
Resource missing. [HTTP HEAD: http://localhost:8989/releases/rubygems/asciidoctor-pdf/1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.14.hosted.jar]

Changing the maven endpoint to /hosted or /merge didn't work either.

Btw we got shown a way to use custom gems locally with the plugin here.
It's has the disadvantage that the dependencies have to be specified by hand but it works.
So if you are short on time and nobody else wants this feature I would suggest to maybe skip this feature for now? (assuming the fix is not trivial)

[mkristian]

/hosted/maven/releases is the right endpoint. will add this to the readme as well.

[fapdash]

This endpoint works! I had to activate the default repositories for jruby, so he would find the other dependencies.
