Thank you for understanding :-)

The way you did that is quite nice. I didn't know about 'rake upload', that's why
I proposed adding files to rubyforge.

Thank you for a quick response, Gavin! I think that job you and others do
documenting ruby is very important for whole community. Keep it up! :)

No worries, I know how it feels :)

It's not a built-in.  My hand-coded "upload" task uses Net::FTP to
upload the files.  The task has a dependency on :package (which builds
the archive files), which in turn depends on "gendoc", which generates
the documentation!  Rake was a great investment of time.  My Rakefile
also generates the RDoc for the stdlib-doc source code and uploads it
to RubyForge.  Too easy.

Wow, that's nice! I guess I need to learn about Rake too, always had problems
understanding make ^-)

Nevermind then, that's my paranoia :)
