That's what the 'gem' lines with path values in Gemfiles do. Those lines either need to be restored, or another way to achieve this needs to be created. - Sam Ruby > > On Sat, Aug 7, 2021 at 8:43 AM sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > AFAICT it is not necessary for the whimsy library code to be packaged as > > > a Gem. > > > > > > However there is still some code relating to the packaging. > > > This may or may not still work. > > > > > > I think it would be best to drop the code to reduce the burden on > > > future maintainers. > > > > > > Sebb
