Subject: [Erector-devel] removing require 'erector' in Rakefile
Message-ID: <20080920040325.E8329241DD@panix5.panix.com>

I have moved the Erector::VERSION constant from lib/erector.rb to a
file of its own, lib/erector/version.rb and included only the latter
in Rakefile.  That is an attempt to solve the problem described below:

As for including geminstaller as a prerequisite, it already is for
"rake cruise".  It seems like it would be harmless to add it
elsewhere, but I'm not sure where it would go.  Geminstaller does seem
to take something like 0.4 seconds on my machine, up to about 1.0
seconds with a cold cache (compared with about 13 seconds for "rake").

This is in response the following which I think was from Chad:

    I just had to run GemInstaller manually.

    The problem is the "require 'erector'" at the beginning of the
    rakefile outside of any task, which requires treetop, which was not
    installed.

    Not sure why you need this require. It would be cleaner to put the
    require inside of tasks as appropriate, and always make geminstaller
    task a prerequisite. This should not be any slower, geminstaller
    exits quickly with no remote calls if nothing needs to be installed.

If it is run by rake cruise, that is probably good enough, if not
we'll find out.  Might want to make an explicit documented
geminstaller rake task so it is easier for hackers to find with rake
-T.
