<renatosilva> how can I delete a gem version and make it disappear from website? the remaining record is useless
<havenwood> renatosilva: yank the last version
<renatosilva> havenwood: are you sure? won't that delete the gem and make it "already taken" when I reupload?
<renatosilva> havenwood: thanks, but weren't the gems being removed already? see this for example https://rubygems.org/gems/easyoptions/versions
<renatosilva> since the gem versions are dates, we can see that the 2014 versions have been deleted before that blog posts, and the gems were not kept
<renatosilva> am I missing something?
<havenwood> renatosilva: Two of the three versions have been yanked. The 2015.2.28 hasn't been yanked. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking?
<renatosilva> maybe
<renatosilva> first, I want to remove those removed 2014 versions
<havenwood> they have been yanked

<renatosilva> I want to remove that list
<renatosilva> it's like rm file; ls => file.deleted (instead of empty)
<renatosilva> havenwood: I want to remove the leftovers, those version records, is there any way to do that?
<havenwood> renatosilva: Other than unpublishing the gem entirely by yanking the last version, I don't know any way to remove the historical record that those versions were published then yanked.
<renatosilva> havenwood: I see, so if I yank the latest version the gem will be gone and the page will give a 404?
<renatosilva> or will it display "this is a removed gem, its name can't be used again, forever"
<havenwood> renatosilva: I think you'd be out of luck for a month, then the name would become available again.
<havenwood> renatosilva: You could start a ticket with Rubygems if you want to explore other options: http://help.rubygems.org/
<renatosilva> to me it sounded like it would be still available to the original author
<renatosilva> havenwood: really bad design in general, but thanks for your valuable help
<renatosilva> I think I just need to delete all versions, then ask support to make the namespace available again
<renatosilva> another question, are these download numbers from real people? https://rubygems.org/profiles/renatosilva
<renatosilva> or are most of them for mirrors, bots, and such?
<havenwood> renatosilva: It's hard to say how many are real people. There are certainly bots and mirrors but also real people.
<renatosilva> ok thanks
