Changes:

1.5.3 / 2008-05-20

• 1 Bug Fix

  • hoe really really needs better tests. I suck. :/

• http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb/

• http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/hoe/
• ryand-ruby@zenspider.com

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.
• 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.
