# Btw, are all rubyforge projects have corr gem format now?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Could you explain?
I'm sorry. I misunderstood your recent announcement regarding the
rubyforge+gem integration. I see now that one has to create his own gem and
post it on rubyforge.
I was thinking along the line of posting ones project on rubyforge AND
rubyforge will do the gem generation for it. Is that possible? (isn't the
gemspec actually a ruby program? -sorry for stupid question, this is just my
first dive into gem).
Thanks
Chad

Gemspecs need to be written by a person. [1] End of story.

[1] In fact, they can easily be written by Rake, but a person needs to
write the Rakefile.

Though, given a set of conventions, it would be pretty easy to
auto-generate Gem files. Of course, given a ubiquitous set of
conventions, we wouldn't see a need to do RubyGems at all.

The gemspec _is_ a Ruby program, but it's more like data than a
program. Thankfully in Ruby, data is usually best expressed as a
