Migrating from releasing gems to Rubyforge

As November 21, 2009, Rubyforge has shutdown its gem indexing in favor of Gemcutter. The switch is transparent to end users, but for gem developers, it means that pushing gems to RubyForge is basically pointless.

For existing projects, the jeweler configuration in your Rakefile looks something like this:

Jeweler::RubyforgeTasks.new

This provides two things to your Rakefile:

• Pushing the gem
• Pushing the documentation
