Hello everyone!

I’m proud to tell you that a new version of pgxn_utils was released!

In this version some errors with OpenSSL was fixed (thanks @theory to report then), and now you can release an extension to PGXN in five steps even using Ruby 1.8!

Another change was the executable’s name that changed from pgxn_utils to pgxn-utils for a close integration with next version of PGXN Client, but some work need to be done, yet.

I used pgxn-utils to release itself to PGXN!

$ pgxn-utils release pgxn_utils-0.1.3.zip 
Enter your PGXN username: guedes
Enter your PGXN password: ***********************
Trying to release pgxn_utils-0.1.3.zip ... released successfully!
Visit: http://pgxn.org/dist/pgxn_utils/0.1.3/

Cool, eh? So, since the PGXN’s mirrors were synced and you have pgxn client, you could install pgxn_utils using:

pgxn install pgxn_utils

If you don’t have pgxn client you can install it using rubygems

gem install pgxn_utils

Have fun!

Hello everyone!

This was a productive weekend that allowed me to work on some new features in pgxn_utils and I’m proud to tell you that a new version was released!

Trying to simplify your extension-development life I’ve added two tasks to pgxn_utils: change and bundle. The first one is just a convenient way to change META information about extension, incrementally, the second one is an easy way to archive your extension in a zip file well named.

To install it just type:

gem install pgxn_utils

Or, if you don’t want to install it yet, see it in action on this screencast [3:05].

Work in progress…

I’m working now to simplify the release, creating a task to send bundled file to PGXN.

There are a lot of work to do yet so, please, tell me if you found a bug or have suggestions.

Have a nice code! “:)
