rspec users - Mar 2010 - how does one define dependencies on a specTask?

I get that you create dependencies on a normal rake task like this:

task :codeGen do
  # do the code generation
end

task :compile => :codeGen do
  # do the compilation
end


but what is the syntax for a specTask?

Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new(''task1a'') do |t|
    # t.spec_files = ...
end

You can create a (redundant) standard rake task:

task :task1b => ''task1a'' do
    # just runs task1a
end

but that sure seems unnecessary.  There''s got to be a way to do this,
right?

Just call "task1a" directly.
