hoe-gemspec version 1.0.0 has been released!

- [http://github.com/flavorjones/hoe-gemspec](http://github.com/flavorjones/hoe-gemspec)

Generate a prerelease gemspec based on a Hoe spec.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Creates a rake task to generate a prerelease gemspec based on your  
Hoe.spec:

- `gem:spec`

Why would you want to do this? I mean, why would anyone want to generate  
a  
prerelease gemspec?

- to allow users of your library to build their project off of master  
quickly, without having to clone or fork your repository, e.g., with  
Bundler.

== SYNOPSIS:

Just add the following line to your Rakefile before you call `Hoe.spec`:

```
Hoe.plugin :gemspec

```

And then run the following command to generate a gemspec:

```
rake gem:spec

```

And then checkin the generated gemspec file to your version control  
system  
of choice.
