Jon writes
about a build system he put together using Ruby. Scripts in Jon’s
system look alot like normal programs. Tasks are defined like a normal Ruby
method, but a target_method command marks that method as special.
These special commands are only executed once, no matter how many times
they are called.
It’s a clever and remarkably simple approach. Jon also describes a technique he uses to interface with ant to build a Java program. Details are a little sketchy, but I wonder if it is something that could be used with Rake. | ||
