Plugin versioning

Rails
1

When I install a plugin, does Rails record the version installed
anywhere?
Maybe I’m not doing it the “right” way, but I’ve excluded vendors from
my
source repository. I’d like some ‘record’ of what plugins are used that
is
under source control.

If you are working with svn use svn:externals:

$ svn propset svn:externals “rcss_engine
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rcss/trunk/rcss” vendor/plugins
$ svn ci -m “added rcss_engine to plugins and put it under version
control”
$ svn up vendor/plugins

If you use a tag url you will always know which exact tag of
plugin/engine you are using. You can in addidtion specify exact
version to include (see Subversion manual).

If you use other VCS than try to find similiar functionality.

I don’t think that comes close to what I want. That keeps my personal
workspace up to date (if I understand SVN). I want my projects source
repository to know what it depends that’s not in it.

And more to the point, I’m talking about when I use “script/plugin
install”.

Actually that is exactly what it does. Value of svn:externals is
stored in your project repository. That means that every person that
checks out your project will automatically check out version you
provided with -r parameter from external repository location you
specified.
