I have a local gem repository which is configured on my host's gem sources. When I run the logstash plugin command to install a plugin, it says that it failed to connect to [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) (which is OK). Is there a way to tell logstash-plugin to take my local gem repo address into consideration when looking for this gem? Thanks, ---

Adding that unpacking the gem and editing the Gemfile is not possible for me since the repository URL changes between environments. Thanks, ---
