I have a few gems on Rubyforge and I want to track how many of them were downloaded. I found Firefox's search tools lacking to find my gem rr.
To fix this issue, I made a sake task, named gems:downloads:list, that prints the gem downloads in text.
The source is on caboo.se.
You can install it by using:
sudo gem install sake sake -i http://pastie.caboo.se/79547.txt gems:downloads:list sake gems:downloads:list | less
This will give an output like:
------------------------------------------------ | Gem | Downloads | ------------------------------------------------ | rails | 1194471 | | activerecord | 1121778 | | actionpack | 1054718 | | activesupport | 990851 | | actionmailer | 960759 | | actionwebservice | 948640 | | rake | 860824 | | mysql | 593476 | | fcgi | 230394 | | mongrel | 220370 | | daemons | 167443 | | rmagick | 164537 | | gem_plugin | 153505 | | RedCloth | 147182 | | rubygems-update | 119615 | | net-ssh | 114369 | | sqlite3-ruby | 105796 | | fastthread | 95534 | | cgi_multipart_eof_fix | 95399 | | needle | 87718 |
Sake is way cool. It was just too easy to implement and deploy this. Have fun making your own sake tasks.
Brilliant! Stuff like this is where sake really shines.
