Please bear with me, I'm a gem authoring noob.
Thus far, I haven't even been able to find formal Bundler API documentation, so I'm having a hard time adhering to best practices and knowing what commands do what, and what api changes are happening aside from the small amount of docs on the Bundler website.
So my first gem was based off of Yehuda Katz's newgem-template, which says to use
gem "newgem", :path => File.expand_path("..", __FILE__)
in the Gemfile to pull in deps from this gem's gemspec. This seems to have gone out of favor for a gemspec command in the Gemfile, which I can only presume does the same thing. (can someone point me to the docs on this)
Next he says to use:
require "bundler"
Bundler.setup
in your Rakefile which I guess requires all the files in your Gemfile ?? Again it appears this has gone out of favor (according to the generated code from new bundle gem some_gem with bundler 1.0.0RC4) for:
require 'bundler'
Bundler::GemHelper.install_tasks
Which I can only guess is loading rake tasks... So what happened to Bundler.setup? What was this even doing? As a new gem author I'm finding it increasingly difficult to stick to best practices when I can't even find documentation on what those practices should be.
I know it's still in beta, but a helpful hint along the way to stable with each release would help me out a great deal.
Anyway can someone explain my Q's above and maybe point me to the docs/api on Bundler (aside from http://gembundler.com which I'm aware of)
