Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good way to automate releasing updates to my libraries to rubyforge. I used to use Florian G.’ rake task but it recently broke like so: (in /Users/tobi/Code/Ruby/shopify/vendor/paypal) mkdir -p pkg Successfully built RubyGem Name: paypal Version: 1.5.1 File: paypal-1.5.1.gem mv paypal-1.5.1.gem pkg/paypal-1.5.1.gem Releasing paypal-1.5.1.gem… rake aborted! Couldn’t get release id /Users/tobi/Code/Ruby/shopify/vendor/paypal/rakefile:216 Any suggestions are welcome, i’d really like to start releasing stuff again 🙂 – Tobi [http://shopify.com](http://shopify.com) - modern e-commerce software [http://typo.leetsoft.com](http://typo.leetsoft.com) - Open source weblog engine [http://blog.leetsoft.com](http://blog.leetsoft.com) - Technical weblog ---

I use meta\_project on MIME::Types (recently updated to 1.15) and PDF::Writer. My Rakefile for either project captures this. Something appears to have happened recently to break GMailer’s sending capabilities, so the :email\_announcement task isn’t working right now. -austin ---
