The Hobo gem does not install a plugin in the vendor folder since

Correct - Hobo can now run as a gem, or can be frozen in vendor/
plugins, much like Rails can be frozen in vendor/rails.

Well, rails 2.2 has some stuff for this, but it won't be complete(no
handling of editing/creating/deleting has_many I believe)
So do you want to wait for 2.3/3.0 ?
Not necessarily. TBH I took my attention off this area of Hobo when I
saw that some work was going on amongst the Rails guys.
Is it supposed to? I've got a model with a lifecycle/create, and
validations, and it happily creates a new record even when all the
fields are missing.
I think this is fixed. Are you on the latest code or on 0.8.1?

The other possibility I can think of would be useful in production

off what gets loaded after the controller. DRYML tends to blur the
line between view and controller and sometimes it makes it quite
difficult to keep it
CACHE (0.00) SELECT * FROM users WHERE (users.id = 1)
Also note that whenever you see CACHE like that, it didn't actually go
out to the DB. It did however have to reconstruct the objects from the

lot of work. So
Yep - something wrong here! Looks like I'll be doing a 0.8.5 bugfix
