  • It's natural to think  of a build in terms of tasks and dependencies, most steps in a  build are idempotent, and we really don't want unnecessary work to  slow down the build.
  • rake is an internal DSL using Ruby.
  • Rake defines two kinds of task. Regular tasks are similar to  tasks in ant, and file tasks are similar to tasks in make.

  • The html file is the output of this task and the xml file  is the input.
  • An important part of the file task is that it's not run unless  you need to run it. The build system looks at the files and only  runs the task if the output file does not exist or it's  modification date is earlier than the input file.
  • style file and output file and only runs the  transform if the output file doesn't exist or is younger than any  of the input files.
  • unless uptodate?(target, src)
