Well ask them, but best one at a time so that threads do not become
interleaved.

Ok,

I’m totally clueless on how to get my finished app onto the NetBSD
platform.

  • Do I re-install Rails, Ruby, etc manually or is there some automated
    way
    to deploy.
  • Do I need to tar up the Rails directory with my application and copy
    it
    over manually?
  • What about periodic updates?
  • What web server, etc do I need to run?
  • Do you suggest using something like Chef, etc to get the deployment
    environment setup?
  • When I turn off the ‘DEVELOPMENT’ flag, what is going to change
    regarding Rails? Is it going to expect the web server to serve up static
    assets?
    How do I configure that?

Thanks,

Joe

Have you ever deployed a Rails app, or is this the first time? None of
these questions are particular to *BSD, although there may be some
specific answers. You should read up or follow some rails casts, etc.
These questions are not hard to find answers to.
