on .gemspecs

Yesterday I wrote “.gitignore your *.gemspec”, in which I suggest to stop putting .gemspecs in gem repositories.

Yehuda Katz replied with “Using .gemspecs as Intended”, in which he explains why you should put them in your repositories to be able to install gems from git.

Today I published “Don’t put your *.gemspec in your Rakefile”, in which I explain myself some more and revisit some of my previous statements asking myself why I generated my .gemspec in the first place.

A few words from me too: Use the gemspec.
