  <title>Ruby Make</title>

  <description>

This package contains Rake, a simple ruby build program with

capabilities similar to make.

​

Rake has the following features:

​

* Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in

   standard Ruby syntax.  No XML files to edit.  No quirky Makefile

   syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)

​

* Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.

​

* Rake supports rule patterns to sythesize implicit tasks.

​

*  Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about

   manipulating file names and paths.

​

* A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
