On a related note, I wanted to share my own methodology. I've got a
Monotone branch that I use as the basis of my projects, which includes
some starting directories, a Rakefile and a gemspec.rb. As I discover
variations and improvements, or adapt to updates of rubygems or rake,
I update the project and propagate them automatically out to all the
projects based on the branch. I've got a couple of tricks that I
yionked from hoe in there, and I expect I'll take a gander at Mr Bones
as well.
Advantages:
- No extra dependencies in the eventual gems.
- Improvements to the skeleton can be propagated to projects - without
destroying local tweaks for the projects
- I have my own control over how I use rake, rubygems, etc.
I suppose there's the disadvantage that it ties me to monotone. I
suspect (but am not sure) that a similar thing could be accomplished
with git, but probably not with subversion.
