Here is a breakdown of what we did:
| Card # | Title | Risk | Estimate | Spent |
|---|
| 1 | Package List | Low | 1 hr | 4 hr |
| 2 | autorequire should be a list, not a string | Low | 2.5h T + .5h C | 3h |
| 3 | Binwrappers vs symlinks | Low | 1.5h | 2h |
| 10 | No more Date | High | 3h | 4h |
| 11 | gemrc settings like cvsrc | Med | 2h | 1h |
Behind the scenes was a lot of test refactoring as well. The old tests relied on you running the tests from the parent directory of the tests and also had a fair amount of redundancy in a couple of classes. I popped in an abstract superclass on top of all the tests that set up a temporary directory for everything to go and extra methods to create gems and files quickly.
Our next weekend will be spent on 6 more cards, but I won't go into detail on those because, well, we want to do them. :)
