Update RVM list known

Question

Is it possible to update the list of known rubies (what you get with rvm list known) without upgrading the entirety of rvm?

Answer 1

mpapis answer and opinion is 100% correct. The settings I had in my laptop is below.

Add the the line rvm_autoupdate_flag=2 to ~/.rvmrc. It will auto update Rvm, all the time, whenever you will do like rvm list known.

Example:

arup@linux-wzza:~> rvm list known
Warning, new version of rvm available '1.26.0', you are using older version '1.25.33'.
You can disable this warning with:    echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=0 >> ~/.rvmrc
You can enable  auto-update  with:    echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=2 >> ~/.rvmrc
arup@linux-wzza:~> echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=2 >> ~/.rvmrc
arup@linux-wzza:~> rvm list known
Found old RVM 1.25.33 - updating.

Answer 2

No it is not, some of the version changes require changes in code, you should be good with sticking to stable to keep more stability (if that is your concern):

rvm get stable

you should be good with sticking to master (as it's stable) to get latest versions:

rvm get master
