I recommend permanently silencing the deprecations like so: gem pristine --all --no-extensions then `gem list` so see what is left and then individually do the easy ones: gem pristine gem_with_binary_but_no_build_args ... (if they're all easy (ie, no build args), you can just do --all and be done with it). Finally, do the ones with build args: gem pristine gem_with_binary_and_build_args -- build_args
