I am trying to publish a gem using hoe 2.1.0 and I am running into
following error.

rake release VERSION=0.0.4

(in /Users/nkumar/dev/working/javascript_lab)
** README.markdown is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting.
   run `sow blah` and look at its text files
rm -r doc
rm -r pkg
mkdir -p pkg
cd pkg
tar zcvf javascript_lab-0.0.4.tgz javascript_lab-0.0.4
tar: javascript_lab-0.0.4: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (2): [tar zcvf javascript_lab-0.0.4.tgz

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

You can look at the source code at
http://github.com/neerajdotname/javascript_lab/tree/master

I published it as a gem on github and it works fine. sudo gem install
neerajdotname-javascript_lab .

This is what I did to attempt to publish this gem to rubyforge.

rubyforge login
rubyforge config. rubyforge config
rake release VERSION=0.0.4

How do I create a directory called javascript_lab-0.0.4 which 'rake
release' is looking for. Looks like I missed a step.

Thanks

* Also on hoe I could not find a way to mention that javascript_lab is
an executable. So I had to hand write the .gemspec.
