Hi.

Does anyone know about how to deal with deploying applications across  
multiple OS’s and how to deal with gems that are saved in vendor/gems?  
I asked an earlier questions about how to make sure that gems are  
available wherever the applications are deployed, but now I’ve run into  
various version of gems for Windows or Linux.

Has anyone encountered this and found a solution?

Thanks!

I think the answer is freeze and install the gems (I assume plugins)  
into vendor/plugins. Thats how I have handled them. If you are talking  
about gems like the db interface or mongrel I don’t have an answer for  
that.
