jeweler maintains a file VERSION in the base directory.
My program in bin has an option,

> prog --version.

Currently. I have a constant VERSION in prog.rb. This is never in synch
with the VERSION file, it should be.

Is there any way of either updating the constant whenever I do a jeweler
version:bump. Or else, my program inside lib/ should be able to get to
the VERSION file. However, note that File.open("../VERSION") fails since
it tries to check in the parent of the dir where user currently is
running the app from.

thx, rkumar

File.open(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../VERSION")

Roger,

How do you post an announcement [ANN] to rubyforge.org and this forum.
Do you use post_news of rubyforge command ?

Is there something in rake ?

Thx.

Roger, you shouldn't depend on files outside of the lib/ dir when
bundling your library as a gem. This was a problem for Rack for a while
as some tools will move the lib dir out and break your relative path.
