Setup.rb vs. install.rb

ruby-talk
1

Hey everybody,

I’m getting ready to deploy something on RAA using the guidelines from:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?QuickGuideToPackaging

My project, which does not contain sub-projects, currently uses setup.rb.
After checking out the guide, it seems that install.rb is what I should have
used? However, it looks as though the author is no longer maintaining
’install.rb’(assuming the author wrote both scripts).

Is it unwise to use setup.rb for a single project achieve? If so, does
anyone know where find the latest-n-greatest install.rb?

Thanks!

Matt

install.rb is not removed, but combined in to setup.rb.
If there is a directory named `packages’ setup.rb works as
previous setup.rb, otherwise it works as previous install.rb.
