[clue] Rake (Ruby) question posted... any experts here?

[Lorin Ricker]

I'm learning, and trying to productively use, Rake for some sys-admin 
type of tasks, and I've researched the 'Net, as well as various Ruby 
textbooks which have a chapter or section on Rake, trying to solve a 
problem that I posted last week on StackOverflow.com:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8323371/rake-file-task-is-not-triggered-by-source-target-file-dependency

Since then... crickets (no response to the post).

Are there any Rake/Ruby experts here in CLUE who'd be willing to look at 
the above posting and give my question/problem a shot?  The posting is 
self-contained, so I'll not repeat things here... Except to say Thanks 
for whatever help someone might offer.

best regards,
