Hi all, I'm using Rake to build packages for a few different projects of mine[1], and I'm finding that the package task as not really set up to go well with how packages really work.
In particuar, it makes no mention of binary directory, library directories, man page directories, or any of the standard file locations. Would there be any interest in a reworked package task that used the rbconfig variables and required that users specify binaries, libraries, etc, storing them accordingly? I plan to use EPM[2] to do most of my package building, so I should be able to contribute that, also. Lastly, is anyone using rake to manage multiple projects? I've listed four projects below, but I'm adding projects all of the time, and I'm wondering if people have any helpful hints in this process. Obviously, part of it is creating common tasks and putting them into a common library, but do people create a separate "build" repository, or what?
