- Why does an image that is known to have not changed ( a visa logo )
have
3 different versions on one server, and 4 different versions on another.
These two servers are in different environments:

… this pattern is true for every asset I have. I thought the idea was
to
have the filename be based on the contents of that file.
-
If the filename is based on the contents of the file, how does rails
map
<%= image_tag ‘foo.png’ %> to the assetified path that includes the
hash? -
If the filename is supposed to be based on the contents of the
file,
why am I ‘precompiling’ my assets every time I deploy DURING THE DEPLOY
PROCESS
– It now takes 6 minutes compile assets on my app VMs. During my
deploy. The rest of my deploy takes maybe 30 seconds.
– Why isn’t the recommended pattern to compile your assets prior to
deploy, check them into source control, and deploy?
Thanks!
