Custom Rake Tasks

While I was doing my previous task, I think I worked out Rake pretty well.

The key points are these;
namespaces:

namespace :first do
   namespace :second do
       namespace :third do
           task :do do
               puts "stuff"
           end
       end
   end
end

This will create a task named "first:second:third:do" which will just output the word "stuff".

prerequisites:

task :one => [:two, :three] do
   puts "one"
end

task :two => :three do
   puts "two"
end

task :three do
   puts "three"
end

If you run "rake one" it'll ensure that "two" and "three" have both been executed already.
