Overview

Create a package based upon a Specification. ::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 Rake::PackageTask, a PackageTask will also generate the following tasks:

package_dir/name-version.gem”

Create a RubyGems package with the given name and version.

Example using a Specification:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/package_task'

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.summary = "Ruby based make-like utility."
  s.name = 'rake'
  s.version = PKG_VERSION
  s.requirements << 'none'
  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

Gem::PackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg|
  pkg.need_zip = true
  pkg.need_tar = true
end

Instance Method Summary

  • #define

    Create the Rake tasks and actions specified by this PackageTask.

  • #init(gem)

    Initialization tasks without the “yield self” or define operations.

Constructor Details

.new(gem_spec) {|_self| ... } ⇒ PackageTask

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.

Yields:

  • (_self)

Yield Parameters:

  • _self (PackageTask)

    the object that the method was called on
