Rant is a flexible build tool written entirely in Ruby,
similar to Rake.

== What's new in this release?

* Gems created with Ruby 1.8.3 won't work with other
Ruby versions (because of a YAML bug). This no longer
affects gems created with Rant's RubyPackage task.
Documentation:
http://make.rubyforge.org/files/doc/rubyproject...

* Rework of Rant's FileList class. You can use it as "normal"
Ruby library now. Below is an example.
Documentation:
http://make.rubyforge.org/files/doc/filelist...

For more details read http://make.rubyforge.org/files...

== Installing Rant

You can install Rant as a RubyGem:

% gem install --remote rant

or download the package from
RubyForge(http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gr...)
and install with install.rb:

% ruby install.rb

== Rant::FileList example

You can use Rant's FileList class as library in your Ruby app/library.
Example usage:

# The next two statements are required if Rant was
# installed as a RubyGem.
#require "rubygems"
#require_gem "rant"

require "rant/filelist"

# Iterate over all files in the current directory and its
# subdirectories, skipping backup files (filenames ending
# in ~ or .bak).

Rant::FileList.glob_all "**/*" do |fl|
fl.exclude "*~", "*.bak"
fl.files.each { |filename|
# do something with the file "filename"
}
end
