Re: [PhillyOnRails] couple simple ror questions
|
Thanks guys -
That "freeze_other_gems" tool is exactly what i'm looking for.
maybe this is my years-of-java brain speaking, but imho having all the gems in the vendor/lib dir is a *good idea*. having these libraries outside the app seems like running requiring jars on your local classpath. i like minimizing the checkout -> run time.
what if you're working on a team? wouldn't be easier to have svn manage dependencies rather than trusting that each developer is running the exact same gems and versions? what if you're running two ror apps. app x requires one version of an api and a app y requires another?
just curious if anyone has any thoughts on this?

You could also try 'rake rails:freeze:gems' which will put all the
system gems in the vendor/rails directory. This might be a bit
excessive though depending on how many gems are installed on the server.
If all the gems are required in environment.rb you could also parse
it into a set of 'gem install' commands pretty easily. Hackish, yes,
but it'd prolly get the job done.
