Re: [Moq] Re: Moq as a gem

I'm not sure what would be recommended. I included the nu mailing list here too for some feedback.

Moq has already been created... http://rubygems.org/gems/moq

It's totally up to you whether to ILMerge or not. I like the usage of ILMerge as it allows your dll to use a certain version of a component while I as a developer can use a different version of that same component.

That said, there are good reasons to just point to a dependency. I subscribe to what makes the most sense for you.  If you are a contributor, and you want to ILMerge, then by all means. If it's not your project, go with what the intent of the release was. In other words, when you download the release, if it is not ILMerged, I would suggest not ILMerging it.  

See this article (contains thoughts for creating other people's gems as well as your own): http://groups.google.com/group/nu-net/web/gempublishers (Honor the OSS release as closely as possible, but remove the dependencies and move items to the proper gem folders)

Chris - I tried to send to moqdisc - but I'm a nonmember and it returned it. Would you mind forwarding it to them? Thanks!
