ABSTRACT  
---------------\>

Reap comprises a set of commonly needed tools for Ruby package  
developers/deployers. Because of the commonality, Reap utilizes a YAML  
configuration file to harvest project information, significantly  
simplifying usage.

RELEASE MEMO  
--------------------\>

Hey, today I’m gald to have gotten Reap 4.3.4 out the door.

This realeas fixes a bunch nagging no-ops that have been real  
turn-offs for those who have only dipped their first big toe into the  
Reaping fields. Like the template and scaffold commands actually do  
something now!

I’ve also added some hot off the skillet features. Reap can now cook  
you up a DOAP XML project file ( section only as of yet). She  
can now release directly to Rubyforge – whoo! is life easier without  
all that point-and-clickery. And best of all, Reap can not plunk down  
a .deb package as easy as a .tar.gz or .gem. You gotta love that!  
(Note, that you’ll need to use Reap’s slightly modified version of  
setup.rb for this. Just copy it out of the installation if you need  
it.)

Boy oh boy, more goodies, good fixes and solidity. Reap’s coming along  
nice. She’ll move to version 4.4 once all the little undiscovered  
cockaroaches are scurried away.

Ciao, T.
