== What is it? ==  
rtagstask is a Rake task for automating the use of rtags[1]. It supports  
generating both vi- and emacs-compatible tag files.

== Usage ==

# Rakefile

require ‘rtagstask’

RTagsTask.new do |t|  
# if you want emacs tags:  
t.vi = false  
end

== Get it ==

gem install rtagstask

I haven’t tried installing rtags from SVN – can you install the gem? I  
don’t know the author, so I’m not sure what to do…
