exiftool-rb / exiftool_vendored.rb

The exiftool gem requires the exiftool perl package, which this includes.

exiftool-vendored.rb

This is

• a vendored version of Phil Harvey's excellent exiftool library, and
• a dependency on the exiftool rubygem, and
• an autoload script that configures the Exiftool gem to use the vendored version of the exiftool library.
