ruby compactor/consolidator?

Kyle Schmitt

Is there a built-in or common way to consolidate a ruby project into one file?

I've got a project of 8-10 files (one class per file & a script that
use the classes). For ease of distributing it to my servers, I've got
a secondary script that consolidates all of them to one big ugly
script.

While the script to consolidate the project does does work well enough
for now, I can easily see it may not in the future.

Thanks

My apologies, that was kind of a silly answer. Best idea is to package it as
a gem. I use hoe for this, for which there is an excellent tutorial:

Did you get that from the new O'Reilly book, "Mastering cat"? ;)

For some reason I never even _thought_ of doing it as a gem. Although
I'm not sure gem works by default on CentOS... I'll have to see.

Hey, it's worth knowing your cat... although I really wish someone actually
would publish that book, I'd love to see how much mileage they could eke out
of it.

I slightly more robust thing to do would be to list all the files in a
config file e.g. Manifest.txt, since order can be important, then write a
build take in your Rakefile:

task :build do
files = File.read('Manifest.txt').strip.split(/\s+/)
code = files.map(&File.method(:read)) * "\n\n"
File.open('build.rb', 'wb') { |f| f.write(code) }
end

Might be helpful:

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/pr...

(Doesn't package binary extensions, though, only ruby source.)
