Polisher is a Ruby module and set of utilities aimed to assisting the post-publishing packaging process for Ruby gems and applications.

Provided are a series of tools geared towards querying rubygems.org and other upstream ruby sources for metadata as well as downstream sources such as the Fedora and Debian distributions to cross reference various supported stacks vendored by each.

Polisher also includes utilities to integrate and hook into various build and install workflows used by both upstream and downstream developers to synergize operations and streamline the packaging and support process.

Polisher is made available through rubygems.

Polisher dependends on the 'curb' rubygem which in return depends on the curl-devel headers. The user should install those and the development tools for their platform or install the curb gem packaged by their distribution like so:

# For Fedora 21 and below also enterprise linux replace dnf with yum
# install the ruby & curl headers & development tools...
dnf install ruby-devel libcurl-devel
dnf group install "Development Tools"

# ... or install the gem manually
dnf install rubygem-curb

Replace the 'yum install' commands with the corresponding ones on alternate platforms.

Various polisher subcomponents depend on various command line utilities, these include:

• /usr/bin/git - to checkout git repos
• /usr/bin/koji - to query and build against koji
• /usr/bin/yum - to query yum
• /usr/bin/md5sum - to generate required metadata
• /usr/bin/fedpkg - to query fedora

Some of these are pre-installed on many platforms and some are available via a quick 'dnf install' / 'apt-get' or other. Not all are required for all utilities, see the specific executables and modules for details.

To install the latest release and all ruby dependencies simply run:

gem install polisher

See the bin/ directory for all executables available, pass '-h' to any to see specific command line options. To run any command from a local git checkout of polisher, run the following beforehand:

export RUBYLIB='lib'

Polisher comes with complete documentation and a full test suite.

Documentation relies on the 'yard' gem / documentation system, to generate run:

rake yard

The test suite is based on rspec, to run:

rake spec
