ANN: rdep (Ruby Dependency Tool)

ruby-talk
1

I recently did a small rewrite of a tool
I wrote a couple of years ago.

There’s still some ugly code in it, but
it works.

rdep will take a Ruby source file and
recursively check its dependencies to see
whether they can be found.

On apps like RD and sgmail, this can be
useful.

Binary files will not be recursed. Files
whose names are created dynamically will
not be detected (only simple strings).

At the end it reports whether everything
could be found and optionally suggests
adding directories to your search path.

Comments/fixes welcome.

Hal, did you manage to run SGmail on windows?
(IIRC you’ve been trying to do so.)

Just curious,

I made a couple of stabs at it, but finally
gave up.
