Kudos!

[Austin Ziegler]

I want to offer my heartfelt thanks and kudos to the developers of two
projects today.

First, I want to thank Aslak Hellesoy for MetaProject
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/xforge). The PDF::Writer release
process is almost 100% automated now, and it wouldn't have been
possible without his work on this. What he's done will inspire me to
finish the last bits of the PDF::Writer release process that aren't
automated and then port that to the rest of my projects.

Second, I want to thank Park Heesob for GMailer. This package has
*also* been used in my PDF::Writer Rakefile to send my announcement
email.

These are *great* projects.

Care to share the Rakefile? I've automated uploads to Rubyforge and lots
of other things as well (though with custom code) and would like to
simplify / add more.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not *quite* done automating; I want to bring in Net::SSH
(specifically Net::SFTP) to upload to the web pages for a project, and
then I also want to add GPG signing (because I have to upload those
separately still). However, the Rakefile has been checked into
PDF::Writer's CVS repository (/var/cvs/ruby-pdf/pdf-writer/Rakefile),
so feel free to crib anything you find there. I will be simplifying
some of it soon (I'm going to work on Archive::Tar::Minitar so that it
provides a Rake task in its default distribution).

Heh, I use the scp tool for that.

Hm, I'm just doing md5sum.
