A class for watching files within a directory and generating events
when those files change.
The directory watcher operates by scanning a directory at some interval and
generating a list of files based on a user supplied glob pattern. As the file
list changes from one interval to the next, events are generated and
dispatched to registered observers. Three types of events are supported --
added, modified, and removed.
Changes:
Version 0.1.1 / 2006-11-10
* removed explicit dependency on hoe

dirwatch is very awesome code. It is a great ruby application that
"manages an sqlite database that mirrors the state of a directory and
then triggers user definable event handlers for certain filesystem
activities such file creation, modification, deletion, etc." It is
meant to be used as its own application.
directory_watcher, on the other hand, is a single ruby class that
sends event objects to other ruby classes when the contents of a
directory change. It is meant to be used within ruby scripts that need
to know about file events.
In summary
dirwatch --> awesome ruby application
directory_watcher --> awesome ruby class

That was my error.
I have now modified my rakefile to include the following lines ...
task :checklist do
print "Did you double check the description? [y|N] "
response = gets
unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
raise RuntimeError, "check the description"
end
print "Did you double check the version number? [y|N] "
unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
raise RuntimeError, "check the version number"
end
print "Do people know where to download this file? [y|N] "
unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
raise RuntimeError, "help out the end user"
end
print "Have you had enough coffe? [y|N] "
unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
raise RuntimeError, "go to Peet's"
end
end
task :release => [:checklist]

Hoe is like coffee in that it prevents you from making the mistakes
that may result from insufficient caffeine levels.
More of a coffee substitute when releasing packages.

Well, it might just send mail into the bit-bucket:
$ mail drbrain@segment7.net

$ echo $?
