Excerpts from Patrick Ritchie's message of Wed Feb 28 05:52:57 -0800 2007: > Have you looked at Hoe? It includes a Rake task to Package and upload > to Rubyforge.
I use Hoe for several projects and it's great. The Rakefile for Sup (a complex package with 6 dependencies) is only 47 lines and has tasks for building the gem, uploading it RubyForge and posting announcments. The only issues I have are a) it expects a very specific directory setup, and if you are fitting it on a pre-existing project you either have to conform or you have to be very careful (e.g. it expects doc/ to contain only generated rdoc pages, and so deletes that directory with no warning for several tasks); and b) it adds itself as a dependency to the gem, for no good reason, and you have to monkey-patch it to stop that. -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
