Hello list,

Is it possible to remove the dependency on Hoe from a gem that I've used Hoe
to create? Far as I can tell, I only need Hoe to build the gem -- the gem
itself does not need Hoe to run so it shouldn't include it as a dependency
to install on other boxes. Could someone let me know whether I've got this
all wrong or whether in fact I *can* remove the hoe dependency when building
my gem?

As of the most recent release of Hoe, it's no longer a runtime
dependency. This behavior requires RubyGems 1.2.

I'm still getting errors trying to run my gem's command line executable
without hoe installed. I have rubgems 1.2.0 and hoe 1.7.0. If you check out
this project:

http://github.com/jc...

Run:

rake gem
sudo gem uninstall hoe
sudo gem install pkg/jake-0.9.0.gem

It does not attempt to install hoe. However the executable won't run:

$ jake -h
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:578:in `report_activate_error':
Could not find RubyGem hoe (>= 1.7.0) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:134:in `activate'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:158:in `activate'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `each'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `activate'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:158:in `activate'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `each'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:157:in `activate'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `gem'
from /usr/bin/jake:18

(If you want run this prog, you'll need oyster. It's not released yet, but
you can get it as follows:)

git clone http://github.com/jcog... oyster
cd oyster
rake install_gem

Best,
James

By the way, here's /usr/bin/jake :

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
#
# The application 'jake' is installed as part of a gem, and
# this file is here to facilitate running it.
#

require 'rubygems'

version = ">= 0"

if ARGV.first =~ /^_(.*)_$/ and Gem::Version.correct? $1 then
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end

gem 'jake', version
load 'jake'

Update your gems. As John said, the latest version uses rubygems' new
developer dependencies.

Also, don't use this mailing list to get support for my (or other for
that matter) ruby-related-but-not-ruby projects. Write me directly or
file a support request.

It is RubyGems' bug.
