Hello,

I am trying to build a gem and I need to do some pre-processing (creating a=
=20
file) before I can create my rdoc's and some cleaning (erasing that file)=20
after I create it.

Running something before building the gem is easy (just specify it in the=20
gemspec before the Gem::Specification.new), but how do I run something=20
afterwards? (writing the code at the end or after the end of the=20
Gem::Specification does not work, because that code is run before the gem i=
s=20
built)

Thank you.

I am trying to build a gem and I need to do some pre-processing (creating a
file) before I can create my rdoc's and some cleaning (erasing that file)
after I create it.

Running something before building the gem is easy (just specify it in the
gemspec before the Gem::Specification.new), but how do I run something
afterwards? (writing the code at the end or after the end of the
Gem::Specification does not work, because that code is run before the gem is
built)

Currently, RubyGems does not allow pre/post processing in the
installation time (this is a security feature), which is when you need
to have what you're talking about to happen for local documentation.
If you're talking about official documentation, use Rake.
