The first public release of rpa-base 0.1.0 (‘kitanai’)
is out, after around 4 months of hacking, over 500 revisions and tens of
snapshot releases on #ruby-lang.
The current ‘bogorepository’ (which is not the real thing, so
this is not a proper RPA release) contains several interesting ports,
including Instiki 0.9.1 (IIRC not yet available as a Gem ;), amrita,
bluecloth, redcloth, ruvi, rake and rcov. Well, the latter cannot really be
compared to the others but it’s pretty neat and will generate things
like www.lypanov.net/+generated/coverage/
.
I hope somebody will realize RPA’s importance and offer some help in
the most important phase, which is just about to begin: Policy definition
and mass packaging. Work on the infrastructure (repository, version control
system…) will take place in parallel.
