Mr Bones version 2.4.1 by Tim P. [http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones](http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/bones) (the “Lacrimal” 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 - 1 minor enhancement - jruby 1.2 compatability [Emmanuel P.] == INSTALL - sudo gem install bones == SYNOPSIS To create a new “Get Fuzzy” project: bones create get\_fuzzy If you ever get confused about what Mr Bones can do: bones --help == FEATURES Mr Bones provides the following rake tasks: ann # Alias to ann:announcement ann:announcement # Create an announcement file ann:email # Send an email announcement bones:debug # Show the PROJ open struct clean # Remove any temporary products. clobber # Remove any generated file. doc # Alias to doc:rdoc doc:rdoc # Build the rdoc HTML Files doc:release # Publish RDoc to RubyForge doc:rerdoc # Force a rebuild of the RDOC files doc:ri # Generate ri locally for testing gem # Alias to gem:package gem:cleanup # Cleanup the gem gem:debug # Show information about the gem gem:install # Install the gem gem:package # Build all the packages gem:reinstall # Reinstall the gem gem:release # Package and upload to RubyForge gem:repackage # Force a rebuild of the package files gem:spec # Write the gemspec gem:uninstall # Uninstall the gem git:create\_tag # Create a new tag in the Git repository git:show\_tags # Show tags from the Git repository notes # Enumerate all annotations notes:fixme # Enumerate all FIXME annotations notes:optimize # Enumerate all OPTIMIZE annotations notes:todo # Enumerate all TODO annotations spec # Alias to spec:run spec:rcov # Run all specs with RCov spec:run # Run all specs with basic output spec:specdoc # Run all specs with text output spec:verify # Verify that rcov coverage is at least 90.0% svn:create\_tag # Create a new tag in the SVN repository svn:show\_tags # Show tags from the SVN repository test # Alias to test:run test:rcov # Run rcov on the unit tests test:run # Run tests for run The rake tasks in the Mr Bones framework can be found in the “tasks” directory. Add your own tasks there when you need more functionality. == REQUIREMENTS Mr Bones does not have any “requirements”, but if you do not have the following gems installed you will not get all that Mr Bones has to offer. - rubyforge - for easy gem publishing to [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) - rcov - for code coverage testing - rspec - if that’s the way you roll - facets - for pretty colors Actually, you will need at least version 1.2.0 of rubygems installed to use Mr Bones. ---

I took a look at the bug report. 1. Regarding the dependency on rake, this is needed in order for the Mr Bones gems to install properly on ruby 1.8.\* systems. 2. Regarding openssl, this is used by the SMTP/TLS security layer to communicate with gmail when sending out announcements of new releases. I can make the second conditionally available – it won’t try to load the SMTP/TLS code unless the OpenSSL libraries are present. However, the rake dependency does need to remain. Thanks for the bug report. Blessings, TwP ---

Just didn’t make a big new announcement. Blessings, TwP ---

Thanks for this new release with the removal for the mandatory openssl dependency. FYI, some feedbacks regarding the rake dependency : 1/ For ruby-1.9, this dependency can be easily workarounded, I’ve just downloaded the bones gem and forced the installation with : gem install -l -f bones 2/ I have found a little issue when I try to create a project on MinGW : C:\HOME\mingw\>ruby -v ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mingw32] C:\HOME\mingw\>bones create bones-app Created ‘bones-app’ Now you need to fix these files C:/opt/ruby-1.9.1-mingw/bin/ruby: No such file or directory – rake (LoadError) The problem is that the installation of ruby-1.9 on Windows (both MSVC and MinGW builds) does not install the shell version of ruby commands (irb, gem, rake …). Only the windows .bat files are installed. I’ve just copied the shell version of rake (from the bin directory or the ruby source archive to the bin directory of my ruby installation), then the problem disappeared. I’m just wondering whether the above rake check is still relevant for ruby-1.9. Cheers. Chauk-Mean.
