Create a package based upon a Gem spec. Gem packages, as well as zip files and tar/gzipped packages can be produced by this task.
In addition to the Rake targets generated by PackageTask, a GemPackageTask will also generate the following tasks:
- "package_dir/name-version.gem"
- Create a Ruby GEM package with the given name and version.
Example using a Ruby GEM spec:
require 'rubygems' spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY s.summary = "Ruby based make-like utility." s.name = 'rake' s.version = PKG_VERSION s.requirements << 'none' s.require_path = 'lib' s.autorequire = 'rake' s.files = PKG_FILES s.description = <<EOF Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. EOF end Rake::GemPackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg| pkg.need_zip = true pkg.need_tar = true end
