How to build Ruby packages with GOCD.
What are Ruby packages?
Ruby is not just a programming language, but an entire philosophy about programming. It makes programming fun, productive, and rewarding. Most programs consist of code that needs to be organized into functions. And so most Ruby programs consist of classes and modules containing useful functions for interacting with the real world, operating on text, working with objects, creating GUIs, doing system administration tasks, building web applications… you name it. Ruby is at its heart a toolkit for accessing existing libraries like OpenSSL and providing something like Visual Basic style syntactic sugar to make working with them fun.
What is GOCD?
GoCD is an open-source tool for automating software release management and continuous delivery, which has become the de facto standard in the industry. With its high flexibility & considerable power, GoCD can automate any build, test & deployment process. It includes powerful monitoring & auto-failover capabilities, supporting various scheduling algorithms including periodic, on-demand or one-shot. A web-based GUI makes it easy to configure jobs with drag-and-drop operations. GoCD is lightweight enough to run on any user's laptop, in all environments - IT department, developer machine, CI server.
