Hoe Loves RubyGems¶ ↑

• github.com/jbarnette/hoe-rubygems

A Hoe plugin with additional RubyGems tasks. Provides support for generating gemspec files and installing with a prefix.

# in your Rakefile
Hoe.plugin :rubygems

$ rake gem:spec

This will write projectname.gemspec into the root directory of your project.

Developing with prefixed forks of gems can be really hard, since, e.g., a gem that installs as jbarnette-johnson via GitHub’s source will install as johnson from a local checkout. To install with a prefix, try:

$ rake gem:install[jbarnette]

For Johnson, this would locally install a gem called jbarnette-johnson.

gem:install without a prefix argument will do exactly the same thing as Hoe’s built-in install_gem task.

$ gem install hoe-rubygems
