Normally there are "rake test" or "rake spec" for testing. If you change the code then run the test suite and send patchfiles to the author. > Do I have to re-package it as a gem and reinstall the gem every time I > make a change ? In my opinion it's up to the author to package the gem. Also you are not allowed to upload the package so it's up to the author. Hth. regards, Sandor Szücs --
