'archive-tar-minitar' has been deprecated; just install 'minitar'. The minitar library is a pure-Ruby library that provides the ability to deal with POSIX tar(1) archive files. This is release 0.7, providing fixes for several issues and clarifying the Minitar security stance. There are two minor breaking changes in this version so that exceptions will be thrown if a negative size is provided in a tar stream header or if the tar stream header is otherwise invalid. This release continues the migration and modernization of the code: * the licence has been changed to match the modern Ruby licensing scheme (Ruby and Simplified BSD instead of Ruby and GNU GPL); * the +minitar+ command-line program has been separated into the +minitar-cli+ gem; and * the +archive-tar-minitar+ gem now points to the +minitar+ and +minitar-cli+ gems and discourages its installation. Some of these changes may break existing programs that depend on the internal structure of the minitar library, but every effort has been made to ensure compatibility; inasmuch as is possible, this compatibility will be maintained through the release of minitar 1.0 (which will have strong breaking changes). minitar (previously called Archive::Tar::Minitar) is based heavily on code originally written by Mauricio Julio Fernández Pradier for the rpa-base project.

What are some alternatives to archive-tar-minitar?
Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. Rake has the following features: * Rakefiles (rake's 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 synthesize implicit tasks. * Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths. * Supports parallel execution of tasks.
An IRB alternative and runtime developer console.
