Rubyforge

Publishing to RubyForge is relatively easy, but there are a few stes.

• Create an account on RubyForge
• Register a project on RubyForge
• Run ‘rubyforge setup’ and fill in your username and password for RubyForge
• Run ‘rubyforge config’ to pull down information about your projects
• Run ‘rubyforge login’ to make sure you are able to login
• In Jeweler::Tasks, set `rubyforge_project` to the name of the project you created
• Add Jeweler::RubyforgeTasks to bring in the appropriate tasks

      Jeweler::RubyforgeTasks.new do |rubyforge|
        rubyforge.doc_task = "rdoc"
      end

Troubleshooting

Problem: rake rubyforge:release fails with the following message:

    rake aborted!
    no <processor_id> configured for <Any>

Solution: Edit ~/.rubyforge/auto-config.yml and make sure processor_ids is set like this:

    processor_ids: 
        IA64: 6000
        AMD-64: 1500
        Any: 8000
        Sparc: 4000
        PPC: 2000
        Other: 9999
        Alpha: 7000
        i386: 1000
        UltraSparc: 5000
        MIPS: 3000
