You're assuming that the developer who wrote the hoe-ified rakefile
remembered to include information about where to find the new release.
That was my error.

I have now modified my rakefile to include the following lines ...


task :checklist do
  print "Did you double check the description? [y|N] "
  response = gets
  unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
    raise RuntimeError, "check the description"
  end
  print "Did you double check the version number? [y|N] "
  unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
    raise RuntimeError, "check the version number"
  end
  print "Do people know where to download this file? [y|N] "
  unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
    raise RuntimeError, "help out the end user"
  end
  print "Have you had enough coffe? [y|N] "
  unless %r/y(es)?/i =~ response.strip
    raise RuntimeError, "go to Peet's"
  end
end

task :release => [:checklist]
