Create a packaging task that will package the project into distributable files (e.g zip archive or tar files).
The PackageTask will create the following targets:
- :package
-
Create all the requested package files.
- :clobber_package
-
Delete all the package files. This target is automatically added to the main clobber target.
- :repackage
-
Rebuild the package files from scratch, even if they are not out of date.
- “package_dir/name-version.tgz”
-
Create a gzipped tar package (if need_tar is true).
- “package_dir/name-version.tar.gz”
-
Create a gzipped tar package (if need_tar_gz is true).
- “package_dir/name-version.tar.bz2”
-
Create a bzip2'd tar package (if need_tar_bz2 is true).
- “package_dir/name-version.zip”
-
Create a zip package archive (if need_zip is true).
Example:
Rake::PackageTask.new("rake", "1.2.3") do |p|
p.need_tar = true
p.package_files.include("lib /*.rb")
end
