Packages and Binaries:
rake
Rake is a simple ruby build program with capabilities similar to make.
Rake has the following features:
- Rakefiles (rakes version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)
- Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
- Rake supports rule patterns to sythesize implicit tasks.
- Rake is lightweight. It can be distributed with other projects as a single file. Projects that depend upon rake do not require that rake be installed on target systems.

--suppress-backtrace PATTERN Suppress backtrace lines matching regexp PATTERN. Ignored if --trace is on.
-A, --all Show all tasks, even uncommented ones (in combination with -T or -D)
-B, --build-all Build all prerequisites, including those which are up-to-date.
-C, --directory [DIRECTORY] Change to DIRECTORY before doing anything.
-D, --describe [PATTERN] Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.
-e, --execute CODE Execute some Ruby code and exit.
-E, --execute-continue CODE Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.
-f, --rakefile [FILENAME] Use FILENAME as the rakefile to search for.
-G, --no-system, --nosystem Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.
-g, --system Using system wide (global) rakefiles (usually '~/.rake/*.rake').
-I, --libdir LIBDIR Include LIBDIR in the search path for required modules.
-j, --jobs [NUMBER] Specifies the maximum number of tasks to execute in parallel. (default is number of CPU cores + 4)
-m, --multitask Treat all tasks as multitasks.
-n, --dry-run Do a dry run without executing actions.
-N, --no-search, --nosearch Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.
-P, --prereqs Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.
-p, --execute-print CODE Execute some Ruby code, print the result, then exit.
-q, --quiet Do not log messages to standard output.
-r, --require MODULE Require MODULE before executing rakefile.
-R, --rakelibdir RAKELIBDIR, Auto-import any .rake files in RAKELIBDIR. (default is 'rakelib')
--rakelib
