Parent: | PackageTask |
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:
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
gem_spec | [RW] | Ruby GEM spec containing the metadata for this package. The name, version and package_files are automatically determined from the GEM spec and don’t need to be explicitly provided. |
Create a GEM Package task library. Automatically define the gem if a block is given. If no block is supplied, then define needs to be called to define the task.
Create the Rake tasks and actions specified by this GemPackageTask. (define is automatically called if a block is given to new).
