Mr Bones version 1.3.4
by Tim P.
http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones
(the “Finite State Puppy” release)

== DESCRIPTION

Mr Bones is a handy tool that builds a skeleton for your new Ruby
projects.
The skeleton contains some starter code and a collection of rake tasks
to
ease the management and deployment of your source code. Mr Bones is not
viral – all the code your project needs is included in the skeleton (no
gem dependency required).

== CHANGES

  • 4 minor enhancements
    • Added more RCov options and tasks to verify a coverage
      threshold (RSpec only)
    • Can specify exact dependency version requirement
    • Added a command line option to specify the output directory for
      a new project
    • The history, readme, and manifest file names can be configured
      in the Rakefile
  • 1 bug fix
    • Now including the default rake/clean tasks

== INSTALL

  • sudo gem install bones

== SYNOPSIS

To create a new “Get Fuzzy” project:

bones get_fuzzy

If a new release of Mr Bones comes out with better features the “Get
Fuzzy”
project will need to be updated:

bones --update get_fuzzy

And if you ever get confused about what Mr Bones can do:

bones --help

offer.
