Dir.glob("**") is Evil (aka. rubyforge 0.2.1 released)

| | Comments (0)

I've said this before but I was lax in enforcing it for rubyforge 0.2.0:

ALWAYS deploy from a manifest file!

Specifically Dir.glob with ** is evil. Even * is evil.

That said, rubyforge now packages from a hand-created manifest file and the rdoc is a bit cleaner.

sudo gem update rubyforge
