    James Smith wants you to know if your gem has built yet.

    It’s open source, too. Thanks James!

    If you like to use globs to specify which files get included in your gem (which helps keep your gem generation code DRY), GitHub will not accept it in the form

    spec = Gem::Specification.new { |s| s.files = Dir['*.rb'] ...}

    because of the safe mode you can see in the script. However GitHub also supports YAML dumps.

    Here’s a modified test script that supports both the standard Ruby code and YAML dump formats:

    That should have been “However GitHub also supports *.gemspec files as YAML dumps, even if their test script does not.”
