How can I satisfy the warning about no rubyforge_project specified?

Question

When I build a gem, I get

(in /home/agrimm/ruby/chaser)
WARNING:  no rubyforge_project specified
  Successfully built RubyGem
  Name: chaser
  Version: 0.0.2
  File: chaser-0.0.2.gem

The friendly manual says "Obviously, if your gem doesn’t have a Rubyforge project, leave this setting alone." (I don't have a Rubyforge project)

Trying to set rubyforge_project to nil still produced the warning, and setting it to false caused the build to fail.

Is there anything I can currently do about the warning, or should I just wait?

Answer 1

Just ignore it. It's harmless, and eventually it will go away.

Answer 2

I registered a project on RubyForge called "nowarning" to avoid this warning. Feel free to point to it by putting this in your gemspec:

s.rubyforge_project = "nowarning"

If the user ever manages to navigate to the project page they just get a note about going back to look at the home page. Have a look at http://rubyforge.org/projects/nowarning/

Feel free to suggest any copy updates for the description on that page.
