Build instructions

  • Merge a PR to master on metasploit-payloads first. Every merge to master will build a new Gem automatically!
  • After about 20 minutes, the gem will be built and show up here: https://rubygems.org/gems/metasploit-payloads
  • On your metasploit-framework PR, update metasploit-framework.gemspec to point to the new gem version
  • In metasploit-framework, run bundle update to update the Gemfile* files
  • In metasploit-framework, run ./tools/modules/update_payload_cached_sizes.rb to update the payload cached sizes
  • Commit Gemfile.lock, metasploit-framework.gemspec, and cache size changes, then test, merge, and enjoy!

If you do land a PR, do a gem build and things are busted, don't fear! Just make a fix, land it to master, and build another gem. Gems are cheap, just build another one. It is technically possible to delete a bad gem, but it is almost never worth the effort. We never want to release a gem twice with the same version number.
