Is this project dead?

Is this project dead? Any alternative?

The author, Chris Wanstrath, is probably too busy with another project he started called... GitHub.

It's too bad. Code rot means that Sake doesn't even run with Ruby 2.0.0. The gem has a dependency on the old ParseTree 2.1.1 which doesn't work on Ruby 2.0.

Thanks for answering.

For those interested. Rake has since added "system wide" tasks. It will read all scripts with the ".rake" extension in ~/.rake (mac, linux) or \Users\Rake (windows). The global scripts can be called using rake -g from anywhere. Eg: rake -g -T. The -g is optional if no local rakefile is present.

@gittycat any suggestion to load rakefiles to different namespace? thanks

[gittycat]

That's an unrelated question but what about
namespace :foo
require 'rakefile.rake'
end
