class Jeweler::Tasks


uses anything found in the bin/ directory. You can override this.<br> a Rake::FileList including files like README*, ChangeLog*, and LICENSE*<br> Similar to gem.files, except it’s only things under the spec, test, or examples directory.<br> a Rake::FileList of anything that is in git and not gitignored. You can include/exclude this default set, or override it entirely
Jeweler fills in a few reasonable defaults for you:
The block variable gem is actually a Gem::Specification, so you can do anything you would normally do with a Gem::Specification. For more details, see the official gemspec reference: docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20<br><br>end
