XForge

XForge is a Quick Release System (QRS) for RubyForge, SourceForge and other SourceForge clones. XForge also allows users to query SCM information and other metadata about hosted projects.

XForge has the following features:

• Look up projects by unix name (no need to worry about group_id or package_id).

• Create/Upload new releases (with multiple files if desired).

• Rake integration (use XForge from Rake scripts).

• Query SCM meta information (using RSCM - rscm.rubyforge.org).

• Publish news items about a project.

• Query home page URLs for a project.

Download/Installation

The latest version of XForge can be found at

• rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=801

Download and install XForge with the following.

gem install xforge

(You may need administrative privileges for this).
