Hello List!
I'm glad to announce the update of Rails Plugin Fossilize (0.3.0):
Fossilize
=========
Allow you distribute your rails application as a Gem.
It add a "fossilize" generator and a package task to rake.
What it offer
=============
Fossilize offer you two ways of using your distributable rails
application:
* a 'unpack' method (by default):
This clone Gem contents into a user especified folder.
* As INSTANCE:
Create a minimun folder structure for the user to configurate that
unique instance
and allow you hook RAILS_ROOT/RAILS_INSTANCE to provide personalized
functionality from this.
To start using it
=================
* First, must install the plugin (ruby script\plugin install) ;-)
./script/plugin source
http://opensvn.csie.org/mmediasys/trunk/rails/plugins/
./script/plugin install fossilize
* Then use generate to create the default script and configuration for
your application
Example:
./script/generate fossilize MyRailsApp
This will:
Create my_rails_app script (executable) under /bin.
Add application.yml to /config directory
Please edit the later with your own information (version, package
name, author, etc.)
* When you're done, use rake package to generate the gem of your
application
* The end user could execute 'my_rails_app' like 'rails' command.
It is compatible with Rails installed as gem or in vendor/rails (it will
also be packaged and distributed into the gem).
Because the copy process is generator-based, local modified files will
show collisions and ask the user for action.
Regards, and remember: feedback are welcome!
