Help make GitHub's gem build process more secure and robust!
SafeGem is a Sinatra app that safely converts Ruby gemspecs into YAML gemspecs.
It works as follows:
Receives a request with the repo location and the ruby gemspec
Returns immediately and schedules the following via EM.defer:
Makes a shallow clone of the repo and chdir's to that repo
Evals the spec in a separate thread with a higher $SAFE level
Converts spec to YAML
Posts the YAML to the specified callback
