when there's a bin directory then executables should be added to the gemspec

[svenfuchs]

I have a dir bin with an executable file in it. It would be nice if gem bootstrap and gem gemspec would add this to the gemspec

I guess that's

s.executables << 'foo'

when bin contains the executable file foo?

That would be helpful, wouldn't it?

If there's more than one executable, we could either put them each on their own line:

s.executables << 'foo'
s.executables << 'bar'

Or keep them all on one:

s.executables += ['foo', 'bar']

Any preference?

[svenfuchs]

if you ask me, then clearly the latter :)

[vStone]

s.executables = `git ls-files -- bin/*`.split("\n").map { |f| File.basename(f) }

if using git :)

[svenfuchs]

good idea, so it would just depend on --strategy git?

[vStone]

I would imagine so.
While we are at it:

s.test_files = `git ls-files -- {test,spec,features}/*`.split("\n")
