Today, I’m saying goodbye packagecloud. They had an amazing unique service that solved a huge headache. I spent a lot of time trying to host my own repositories, and it was too much of a headache to constantly keep up. Packagecloud was an amazing, affordable service that solved this problem with elegance. But they decided to tripple their price which made the service no longer worth it.
So today, I’ve changed my build system, installation instructions, and scripts to use gemfury. A great alternative and free for public packages.
You can head over to the linux downloads section, and re-run the installer script to add the new repository. Sorry for the inconvenience. More announcements next week, stay tuned.
