I used newgem to create my 'sparehand' gem. The rakefile now depends on Hoe, but it also looks like newgem creates a Rakefile such that hoe can't be a dependency. I tried adding 'hoe' as a dependency with no luck. Think someone could offer a little advice? It would make me really happy to see 'Passed' next to my gem :) The rakefile is available here: http://rubyforge.org/viewvc/sparehand/trunk/Rakefile?root=phillyonrails&view=markup Thanks in advance, Mat
