Problem with Rake's PackageTask

[Leo --]

Hello!

I'm trying to add packaging to my rakefile. I copied the example code
from http://rake.rubyforge.org/classes/Rake/PackageTask.html, that's it:

require 'rake/packagetask'

Rake:ackageTask.new("rake", "1.2.3") do |p|
p.need_tar = true
p.package_files.include("lib/**/*.rb")
end

but when I run rake --tasks, there are still no tasks related to
packaging. I googled for a while and I can't solve this puzzle. Please
help.

With your rake file, I get:

$ rake --tasks
(in C:/Documents and Settings/BA2828/My Documents/pgm/ruby/pkgtask)
rake clobber_package # Remove package products
rake package # Build all the packages
rake repackage # Force a rebuild of the package files
