Thanks. After looking at the RubyGems user guide chapter 8
("distributing gems" http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/6), I see
that RubyForge "will automatically deploy any .gem file you upload to
a project download area.". That sounds like a nice system.

Also, on http://rubyforge.org/docman/?group_id=5 , the
"mirror_setup.html" link describes some more too.
