Last week I released the first version of Trinidad, a project that I develop with the help of Jeweler, a gem that gives you the tools to release a gem in github quickly, and with some options it also helps you to release your gem in rubyforge, but here my problems started.
In the Jeweler's wiki there is a page with the first problem I bumped into, and in its issues tracker there is also a thread with the problem that almost went me nuts, and any solution didn't solve my problems.
My solution, start from the begining, step by step. First step, configure rubyforge, the best guide you can find to configure rubyforge is in the newgem generator's page. Second step, release your gem with jeweler.
All in all, if you want to release a gem in rubyforge with jeweler, run these commands and forget to edit rubyforge configuration's files, it worked for me, at least:
$ rubyforge config
$ rubyforge login
$ rubyforge names
$ rubyforge create_package #project_name# #gem_name#
$ rake rubyforge:release
