Sebb updated WHIMSY-25:
-----------------------
Description:
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.
Or indeed the Gem could return the timestamp of its source (the most recent if
there is more than one)
