Generate rake distribute:install, uninstall, and diff tasks to distribute items (files, templates, directories, etc.) to difference locations.

It is the saver to use rake tasks to manage 1 -> n file distribution. Commonly applied cases are runcom files, Makefiles, etc. Those files exists in many locations and are almost identical with slight difference.

• gem install rake-distribute

distribute :FileItem do
  from "/path/from"
  to "/path/to"
end

distribute :ErbFile do
  build_dir "build/distribute" # optional
  from "/path/from.erb"
  to "/path/to"
  with_context {:a => 1, :b => 2} # optional
  diff do |dest, src| # optional
    sh %Q{vimdo diff "#{dest}" "#{src}"}
  end
end

distribute :TiltFile do
  prefer Tilt::BlueClothTemplate # optional
  from "/path/from"
  to "/path/to"
  with_context {:a => 1, :b => 2} # optional
end

distribute :FileItem do
  build_dir "build/distribute" # optional
  from "/path/from.c"
  build :to => 'to' do |from, to|
    sh %Q{gcc "#{from}" -o "#{to}"}
  end
  to "/usr/bin/to"
end

After checking out the source, run:
