Rake 0.9.4 Released¶ ↑

Rake version 0.9.4 contains a number of bug fixes.

Changes¶ ↑

Bug Fixes (0.9.4)¶ ↑

• Exit status with failing tests is not correctly set to non-zero.

• Simplified syntax for phony task (for older versions of RDoc).

• Stand alone FileList usage gets glob function (without loading in extra dependencies)

What is Rake¶ ↑

Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern scripting language built right into your build tool.

Availability¶ ↑

The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems …

gem install rake    (you may need root/admin privileges)

Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
