Luis commented on the Google group for RubyInstaller (The 5-click
Installer :) that gemcutter works with it, but he hasn't tested
jeweler. (if it doesn't shell out to *nix commands, it shuld be fine).

So he is aware of the move.

Gem's must from now on be "pushed" to gemvutter, if hosted on RF:

Duh. I should have realized that I should look in the String class for
the [] method. Even crazier is the assignment form:

str[regexp, fixnum] = new_str

I had a hard time finding documentation for __FILE__. It turns out
that it's a Ruby keyword, and a pseudo-variable, like true/false/nil/

I'd be willing to do a 15 minute talk on jeweler. I think it's the
bees knees.

Craig,

There is some discussion on this in the Ruby dev list (where Matz
hangs out). I'm not sure where he is going to end up, #Kernel.__dir__,
__dir__(*paths), __DIR__ or __DIR__(*paths). I think the consensus
might be for __DIR__ as a constant as you say. You can write your own
function that does a similar thing, assuming __DIR__ exists:

You can still pull down sources from Github via GIT, you just can't
pull them as a single file via gems. As I understand it, the idea is
to keep your development in Github (or anywhere else you care to) and
push to Gemcutter in addition to that.

I don't think Curt is involved much with the Windows Once-Click

The commenter you're talking about is probably Luis Lavena. He took
over as maintainer of the OneClick installer - now known as
RubyInstaller[1] - in December of 2007[2].

"For at least one year"[3]

Craig, you are probably right about the dependencies. Note net-ssh,
json, etc. Needed for the push process, but not for backtracer itself.
However, based on your news re: the switch to rubygems.org
(Gemcutter), it can't hurt to have these installed.

I hope Curt Hibbs is reading thius. One of the commenters mentioned

I don't much care for allowing __DIR__ to take args as a method.
__FILE__ is just a constant String, and I think __DIR__ should mirror
its implementation as much as possible.

The regex matches up until it reaches a colon, some digits (\d+), and
another colon. Then it stores what got matched within the parentheses.

Gemcutter will soon be replacing RubyForge as the default gem host.
See [link]
for details. In addition, Github has (or will) stopped building
downloadable gems.

Jeweler is one of the gem creation tools. Another is newgem. I had

Thanks Amos and Mario.

It sounds jlike just what I need. Investigating the backtracer some
more, I found that I could install ruby-debug19 for 1.9.1. It is still
a bit buggy and the locals option doesn't work with backtracer for me.

Other than that making a gem for my Cuke+RSpec legacy toolset, sounds

Ed,

You don't have to call gem tumble all the time. It is a one time deal.

Jeweler is awesome. It will create a skeleton ruby project structure
for you, complete with rakefile and the supporting test helper file of
your choice (rspec, bacon, test::unit, etc). It will also initialize
your project dir as a git repo with the remote master pointing to your
default account on github. I have been using it for most of the year

Gemcutter is the new offical hosting site for ruby gems. That's all it
does is host gems.

Jeweler is a gem for helping create gems. It defaults to putting things
up on gemcutter.

Hi,

I wanted to try the excellent backtracer gem [1] and had to install
jeweler first [2],[4]. I got of lot of other dependencies, like for
gemcutter, etc. What is all this? I think it has something to do with
git, rubyforge and publishing your own gems. [3] Are people moving to
this from rubyforge/github? Can you do the jeweler/gemcutter tumble

ed.howl...@gmail.com (Ed Howland) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:28:05 UT

I like the Ramaze implementation of __DIR__(*args)

But there seems to be a difference between ruby versions wrt to
caller. On 1.9.1, I get something like this for caller[0]:
"/Users/edh/ruby/caller.rb:7:i n `b'"

The path is fully expanded.

in 1.8.7:
rvm 1.8.7
irb

irb(main):006:0> caller[0][0][/^(.*):\d+:/,1]
