Rant Description

Free, open source, flexible and Ruby based make Similar to make, the rant command line tool reads a file called Rantfile, which contains task definitions. Unlike make, however, a Rantfile is just a valid script written in the Ruby programming language. Since Ruby comes with many useful libraries and is portable across a lot of different operating systems, it is very easy to create portable Rantfiles. Here are some key features of "Rant": · Defining custom tasks. · Automated packaging, testing and RDoc generation for Ruby applications and libraries. · Creation of a monolithic script tailored to the needs of a specific project which can be used instead of an Rant installation - users don't need to install Rant. · Creating gzipped tar and zip archives -- without installing additional software. · Optional recognition of file changes based on MD5 checksums instead of file modification times. · Support for compiling C# sources and resources · Dependency checking for C/C++ source files (integrated makedepend replacement). What's New in This Release: · Added man pages · Added bash completion script
