Rails 3.1 How to use CDN-hosted jQuery libraries vs assets pipeline

Rails
1

I am testing some code to be used out of an Rails app, using JQuery
and jQuery-ui
as the final html code will have links to CDN-hosted libraries, with
links to
src : “http:////ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/
jquery.min.js” and
src: “http//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/jquery-
ui.min.js”

how can I use these standards with Rails 3.1 assets ?
should I modify the application.js and get rid of //= require query
I’m a little bit lost …

See here:

application.js

// This is a manifest file that’ll be compiled into including all the
files
listed below.
// Add new JavaScript/Coffee code in separate files in this directory
and
they’ll automatically
// be included in the compiled file accessible from
http://example.com/assets/application.js
// It’s not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it’ll
appear
at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
//= require jquery_ujs
// your stuff below

jquery.js

// This is a manifest file that’ll be compiled into including all the
files
listed below.
// Add new JavaScript/Coffee code in separate files in this directory
and
they’ll automatically
// be included in the compiled file accessible from
http://example.com/assets/application.js
// It’s not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it’ll
appear
at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
// This is the fallback file that is used when all other things fail.
//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui

head.js

// This is a manifest file that’ll be compiled into including all the
files
listed below.
// Add new JavaScript/Coffee code in separate files in this directory

helpful)
