The rails.gemspec only has the README in the Gem Specification's files: s.files = ["README.md"]
Some projects include every document file or markdown file in the project's root directory to this setting. I don't think that's necessary, but usually the changelog, readme and license should be there. For rails gem, there's no changelog which makes sense but we do have the MIT-LICENSE file. I can create a PR for this but the Contributing guideline mention it doesn't generally accept changes that "do not add anything substantial to the stability, functionality or testability of Rails". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
