Currently you +can't do that. + +The generated RubyGem chunk morphologies contain splitting rules which would +be better built into Morph so they didn't need to be specified each time. + +Ideally Morph would be able to understand the normal RubyGems build system. +Sadly the current morphlib.buildsystem code makes this a bit tricky because +it's hard for the build system template to know the name of the .gemspec it +should build. + +Currently the tool hardcodes the name of each chunk morphology it generates as +'strata/$stratumname/$chunkname-$version.morph'. This is more or less a +workaround for some of the issues listed below. + +It's ugly to have the version number in every chunk name, and it makes it more +time-consuming to do version updates of individual components in a stratum. +The chunk name should default to '$chunkname', except when multiple versions +of the chunk are found. |
