default hoe tasks

rake check_manifest        # debug   # Verify the manifest.
rake clean                 #         # Clean up all the extras.
rake config_hoe            # debug   # Create a fresh ~/.hoerc file.
rake docs                  # publish # Build the RDoc HTML Files
rake install_gem           # package # Install the package as a gem.
rake multi                 # test    # Run the test suite using multiruby.
rake release               # package # Package and upload the release.
rake test                  # test    # Run the test suite.

# should probably just go on clean or clobber
rake clobber_docs          # publish # Remove RDoc products
rake clobber_package       # package # Remove package products
rake clobber_rcov          # rcov    # Remove rcov products for rcov

# I think default => test is a common enough thing that it doesn't need doco
rake default               # test    # Run the default task(s).

# These might not need to be public, the only time I ever run them
# directly is when something's gone wrong
rake post_blog             # publish # Post announcement to blog.
rake post_news             # publish # Post announcement to rubyforge.
rake publish_docs          # publish # Publish RDoc to RubyForge.

# I think these are internal, and shouldn't have descs
rake release_sanity        # package # Sanity checks for release
rake release_to_rubyforge  # package # Release to rubyforge.

# I hate the 'task', 'retask', 'clobber_task' idiom that Rake's
# built-in tasks perpetuated, but I don't want to rewrite them

rake redocs                # publish # Force a rebuild of the RDoc files
rake repackage             # package # Force a rebuild of the package files

# I actually can't remember the last time I used this.
rake audit                 # test    # Run ZenTest against the package.

# Hardcore tasks
rake debug_email           # publish # Generate email announcement file.
rake debug_gem             # debug   # Show information about the gem.
rake deps:email            # deps    # Print a contact list for gems dependent on this gem
rake deps:fetch            # deps    # Fetch all the dependent gems of this gem into tarballs
rake deps:list             # deps    # List all the dependent gems of this gem

# Things Dr Nic doesn't use
rake announce              # publish # Announce your release.
- I've always used "rake post_news" explicitly since its the only announcing task I use
rake check_extra_deps      # deps    # Install missing dependencies. 
- "rake install_gem" does this too
rake gem                   # package # Build the gem file newproj-1.0.0.gem
- I've only run "rake install_gem"
rake generate_key          # signing # Generate a key for signing your gems.
- I think I ran this once. Perhaps it could be called by "rake config_hoe" ?
- One-time tasks like this + "rake config_hoe" could be in a "hoe" executable?
rake package               # package # Build all the packages
- I've only run "rake release"
rake rcov                  # rcov    # Analyze code coverage with tests
- I don't believe in rcov as a useful tool
rake ridocs                # publish # Generate ri locally for testing.
- I do use ri but have never wanted un-published gem docco in my ri
rake test_deps             # test    # Show which test files fail when run alone.
- Never thought to want this task. I guess I run each test in isolation via editor; and does it work for rspec?
