Thnaks,

there... just a reference...

AFAIK that's as close to a "dev guide" as there is. Perhaps somebody
else knows better than I do.

 

[Pedro Cardoso]

Well...

Maybe I didn't serached it well... or that's just de ruby stile... but
I dind't found anything that tells me what structure to use for file or
anything like that...

There is info in several books.
Peter Cooper's Beginning Ruby has it
I believe the pickaxe book has it
Ruby Cookbook has it
Should be there in rubygems.org too...
http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/5

AFAIK it's only in English now, which is unfortunate.
We do need more effort at doc translation in the Ruby community..

If you are just looking for information on how to create a ruby gem
package, I wrote a quick howto here:

[Pedro Cardoso]

Hi!

Thanks. That is enough I think

I was thinking in putting a rake that I will use for many projects in a
gem, but I'm getting the feeling that that's not right...

What do you guyes recomend?

Use hoe:

http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/hoe/

It handles everything you need for building gems and publishing them,
including generating a nice announcement email.
