I wrote the Torrent library. I was not sure what license to pick so I picked GPL. I can pick something different if it makes things easier. My intent was to make it freely available for any purpose. I can change the license to Ruby, actually I will change to the Ruby license right now. I will also upload the latest version with some minor fixes and feature enhancements. I was thinking the same thing when I read the post about a ruby "make" or "ant" utility. I think Torrent could make the development of such a framework much easier. -jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Tomson" <ptkwt / shell1.aracnet.com> Newsgroups: comp.lang.ruby To: "ruby-talk ML" <ruby-talk / ruby-lang.org>; <undisclosed-recipients:> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 4:08 AM Subject: [ruby-talk:29057] Re: Ruby 'make' replacement (Re: stderr from external process?) > In article <3c210d85$0$62854$edfadb0f / dspool01.news.tele.dk>, > MikkelFJ <mikkelj-anti-spam / post1.dknet.dk> wrote: > > > > > >The Torrent Workflow is a recently RAA posted workflow scheduler that is > >quite useful for build framework. > >Unfortunately it is GPL'ed, which makes it of limited use.
