class Gem::Package

Example using a Gem::Package

Builds a .gem file given a Gem::Specification. A .gem file is a tarball which contains a data.tar.gz, metadata.gz, checksums.yaml.gz and possibly signatures.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/package'

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.summary = "Ruby based make-like utility."
  s.name = 'rake'
  s.version = PKG_VERSION
  s.requirements << 'none'
  s.files = PKG_FILES
  s.description = <<-EOF
Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks
and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax.
  EOF
end

Gem::Package.build spec

Reads a .gem file.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/package'

the_gem = Gem::Package.new(path_to_dot_gem)
the_gem.contents # get the files in the gem
the_gem.extract_files destination_directory # extract the gem into a directory
the_gem.spec # get the spec out of the gem
the_gem.verify # check the gem is OK (contains valid gem specification, contains a not corrupt contents archive)

files are the files in the .gem tar file, not the Ruby files in the gem extract_files and contents automatically call verify

build (spec, skip_validation = false, strict_validation = false, file_name = nil)

# File lib/rubygems/package.rb, line 131
def self.build(spec, skip_validation = false, strict_validation = false, file_name = nil)
  gem_file = file_name || spec.file_name

  package = new gem_file
  package.spec = spec
  package.build skip_validation, strict_validation

  gem_file
end

new (gem, security_policy = nil)

Creates a new Gem::Package for the file at gem. gem can also be provided as an IO object.

If gem is an existing file in the old format a Gem::Package::Old will be returned.

Calls superclass method BasicObject::new

# File lib/rubygems/package.rb, line 148
def self.new(gem, security_policy = nil)
  gem = if gem.is_a?(Gem::Package::Source)
    gem
  elsif gem.respond_to? :read
    Gem::Package::IOSource.new gem
  else
    Gem::Package::FileSource.new gem
  end

  return super unless self == Gem::Package
  return super unless gem.present?

  return super unless gem.start
  return super unless gem.start.include? "MD5SUM ="

  Gem::Package::Old.new gem
end

raw_spec (path, security_policy = nil)

Extracts the Gem::Specification and raw metadata from the .gem file at path.

# File lib/rubygems/package.rb, line 171
def self.raw_spec(path, security_policy = nil)
  format = new(path, security_policy)
  spec = format.spec

  metadata = nil

  File.open path, Gem.binary_mode do |io|
    tar = Gem::Package::TarReader.new io
    tar.each_entry do |entry|
      case entry.full_name
      when "metadata" then
        metadata = entry.read
      when "metadata.gz" then
        metadata = Gem::Util.gunzip entry.read
      end
