A script which automates a limited set of rubyforge operations.

• Run 'rubyforge help' for complete usage.
• Setup: For first time users AND upgrades to 0.4.0:
  • rubyforge setup (deletes your username and password, so run sparingly!)
  • edit ~/.rubyforge/user-config.yml
  • rubyforge config
• For all rubyforge upgrades, run 'rubyforge config' to ensure you have latest.

Changes:

2.0.0 / 2009-09-21

• Modified to use RubyForge REST API rather than scraping HTML.

• Don't forget to login! logging in will store a cookie in your .rubyforge directory which expires after a time. always run the login command before any operation that requires authentication, such as uploading a package.

• Added experimental script to sync RF trackers with release names.

John Barnette released the vlad-git gem.

They're all available under the hitsquad's project on rubyforge.

Tee hee. I think this is your best gem name evar. [...] Wilson is very metal. Wilson strikes more fear in to my heart than you do!
