             Summary: Gem modules could return their file dependencies
                 Key: WHIMSY-25
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-25
             Project: Whimsy
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sebb


The Gem modules give access to various files.
These are then used by scripts that may create summaries of the output.
For example public_icla_info.rb uses asf/icla.rb

These scripts may check that the underlying source has not changed since the 
last output file was created; this means that the script needs to know the 
name(s) of the files that the Gem module used. Rather than repeat the file name 
in the script, it would be handy if the Gem module had a method to return the 
file name(s). 

Alternatively the Gem module could have a method to check a timestamp against 
its source(s) - this would mean that the Gem could use LDAP or SVN to access 
its source without affecting the calling script.
