One of the premises of the Ruby Production Archive (RPA) is that the
developers need not package for RPA, RPA packages for them[1] ;-)
I have therefore just uploaded it to the preliminary Ruby Production
Archive repos., for use with rpa-base (http://rpa-base.rubyforge.org),
so that it can be installed now with
  rpa install test-report

I will try to keep it up-to-date as you release new versions.

FYI, packaging it for with rpa-base essentially involved writing the
following 'rpafied install.rb' file:

require 'rpa/install'

class Install_test_report < RPA::Install::FullInstaller
    name "test-report"
    version "0.1.0-1"
    classification Library
    build do
        installrdoc %w[README] + Dir["lib/**/*.rb"]
        installexamples "test"
        skip_default Installtests
    end
    description <<EOF
Report the results of a unit test run in HTML and other formats.

The current implementation of test-report includes two formatters:
* an XML formatter which outputs test suite results into an XML file, using
  the same format as a Ant junit task. This output can then be passed to an
  Ant junitreport task to produce an HTML report.
* an HTML formatter which produces an HTML report.
EOF
end


You are not expected to maintain it or anything, so please don't
complain about the lack of docs yet ;-)

[1] at this point a 'soviet Russia'-style joke is tempting; it's been so long
since I quit /. that I don't know if it's in anymore.
