Subject: Making a gem

Hello!

I'd like to release a Gem on Rubyforge and I need some help.

I have created most of my project using Hoe and the gem builds and
installs locally
properly. When I try to release though (rake release VERSION=1.0.0), I get :

rake aborted!
no <group_id> configured for <glader>

I assume this is because I need a config.yml in my ~/.rubyforge
directory with group id's etc.
From a "hoetalk.pdf" that I found, an example shows:


---
rubyforge:
  release_ids:
    amazon-hacks:
      0.5.0: 8743
    group_ids:
      amazon-hacks: 2731
    package_ids:
      amazon-hacks: 3223


..I can set up such a file, but where do I get all these id's?
After that, how do I inform the 'rubyforge' program that this file exists?

rake check_manifest gives me:
(in /home/lesliev/dev/mygems/glader)
�����\�exclude entry missing from .hoerc. Aborting.

..for which google turns up nothing.
