ah. didn't know you could do that! in any case i've been
doing for a looong time so i'm sure it's not the problem in
this case... i'll look into it for my rubyforge script.

Yes, when you put out a release (using the web form) you'll see an
option to "Add file to this release". That's what I use. I prefer my
approach because it's a little less confusing (to me), and saves screen
real estate. I have a feeling it's also easier to manage in terms of
show/edit in the Admin section.

For example, if you wanted to hide the 0.3.1 release for alib, wouldn't
you have to perform two edits? One for the gem and one for the .tgz
file?

But, hey, far be it from me to tell you how to organize your project. :slight_smile:

that's ok. a facade would be fine.

right. i'd like both those and fctnl (posix) based locking
wrapped into a single

   file.lock File::LOCK_EX

interface that mimics File#flock

if you have a minute check out posixlock - it's really short.
which win32 lib
   might already have locking builtin?

The wrappers for the raw C functions would be in windows-pr
(windows/file). However, I just realized I haven't included the
appropriate constants for those functions (dangit). I'll do that this
weekend.

I'll take a look at posixlock and see what I can come up with.
