Ore (Core)

Description

Ore is a simple RubyGem building solution. Ore handles the creation of Gem::Specification objects as well as building .gem files. Ore allows the developer to keep all of the project information in a single YAML file.

Features

  • Stores project information in one YAML file (gemspec.yml).
  • Does not have dependencies.
  • Does not impose a development workflow onto the developer. One could even use Ore with Jeweler::Tasks.
  • Can load the project version from:
    • VERSION or VERSION.yml files.
    • VERSION constants or Version modules defined in a version.rb file.

  • Can be used in traditional .gemspec files:

    begin Ore::Specification.new do |gemspec| # custom logic here end rescue NameError begin require 'ore/specification' retry rescue LoadError STDERR.puts "The '#<strong>FILE</strong>' file requires Ore." STDERR.puts "Run gem install ore-core to install Ore." end end

  • Can be used with Bundler.

Install

$ gem install ore-core
