I just addressed some corrections in my fork (under windows branch): http://github.com/luislavena/rake/tree/windows Basically: Consider MinGW also as valid Windows platform, which improves the support for upcoming one-click installer based on it: http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/49b669ed72891a2a891be31cb8fdde9e54e950c5 Reordered how Rake find system-wide Rakefile (HOME, HOMEDRIVE+HOMEPATH, APPDATA and then USERPROFILE) http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/5813a2ad0e2d277a97e7b84fb9995bf7cb30676c Corrected some mocks during Win32 tests that generated some errors when executing test under Windows: http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/e2a1cb2d766a1dfc503fd5ac0ba1cdbd48b25112 http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/fd75a2c9f27c7655cdc5fccb1b8b0a34ba025d97 Corrected some tests and made them platform specific: http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/c7f5273ef87e959ff643d6fc752bc0bdb5d9c57c Make Rakefile matching really case insensitive: http://github.com/luislavena/rake/commit/23275bc752cdc62c50ed79adbe3367acda905cf2 Most of those are just to remove the noise around executing test under Windows. I needed to patch that to be able to work and release on other packages like DataMapper, Merb, Hoe, ParseTree and RubyInline. The one pending thing I noticed is how system with multiple args is working, which I believe I'm missing something from this thread: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rake-devel/2008-September/000581.html And some questions from me here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rake-devel/2008-October/000601.html Thank you again for your time. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
