The other day while creating a new version for my gem, and getting hoe errors, i did look at the link above. It did not look so easy. Instead of creating a gemspec, or modifying my gemspec, i update the Rakefile and then generate a gemspec.
I will try it out and see how it is.
Again, should not ruby have one standard prescribed way of doing it, and not so many.
- bphogan 16y agoRuby does. Jeweler, Hoe, and other things are scaffolding for Gems. They get you going, but I found that as I relied on them too much I didn't really understand how it works. You can write a gemspec by hand which is what I have done now for my new gems that I'm working on. When I get time I will change the old ones to use a hand-rolled gemspec and a simple rake file for publishing. Gemcutter has made it trivial to take a hand-rolled gemspec and publish your gem. No libraries or gem scaffolding necessary.
