I’m wondering what are people using to upload rubyforge projects.  
I’m basically looking for something that will easily allow me to upload  
the ri documentation into rubyforge (this is a pain to do manually,  
afaik).

The Ruby Cookbook ([http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rubyckbk/](http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rubyckbk/)) has a  
chapter on rakefiles that contains a useful generic Ruby project  
rakefile that, among other things, automates the task of uploading  
documentation to Rubyforge.

You can use rsync to transfer a directory tree up to your virtual host.

$ rake -T  
(in /Users/drbrain/Work/p4/zss/src/memcache-client/dev)  
[…]  
rake publish\_docs # Publish RDoc to RubyForge  
[…]

Even uses rsync to keep things clean and fast.
