I want to upload a gem to rubyforge and I am using Hoe to do it.
When I do rake release it stops with the message
Must supply VERSION=x.y.z
after creating the gem.
Hoe s v1.2.0. Looking into the code I see:
task :release => [:clean, :package] do |t|
v = ENV["VERSION"] or abort "Must supply VERSION=x.y.z"
How is this supposed to work?
Cheers,
V.-
To answer my own question:
rake release VERSION=x.y.z
It should have been easy, since it is well documented in "Building Your First
Gem With Hoe" by Jacob Harris, only that the slides I found on http://www.slideshare.net/vishnu/hoe-talk/ have all the interesting points (the commands) garbled (like where on the 3rd slide it says gem build, the slide has DFGHIJLM). Might be a browser problem (I'm on Firefox on Mac) or a codepage problem.
