Hi David, What I have been using in my Rails 2.2 applications recently is Haml as a submodule from github right into vendor/gems/haml - so if you are using git to version-control your rails application, you might find this information useful.
As you probably know, Rails 2.2 has this really stupid way of handling vendor/gems - it requires the directory to be named vendor/gems/haml-2.0.6 - and that is just plain silly. And even more than that, it requires to install the gem and then it somehow "copies" the installed gem into rails .. or some other weird thing that it does. It's just crazy. I think my way is better, what I do is add the gems right into vendor/gems, and then just checkout the correct tag (like 2.0.6) and submit that into my own git. cd RAILS_ROOT git add submodule git://github.com/nex3/haml.git vendor/gems/haml cd vendor/gems/haml git co -b 2.0.6 2.0.6 # http://gist.github.com/41380 as RAILS_ROOT/lib/rails_vendor_gems_ng.rb cd RAILS_ROOT git submodule update git commit This makes haml be an integral part of my rails project, and when I need to switch to a newer version - I just go to vendor/gems/haml do a "git co -b 2.0.7 2.0.7", "git submodule update", and "git commit" ... that moves haml to a newer version and all my team mates on the project get the new haml gem as part of the application we are working on. Would love to hear comments if anyone has any ... but other than that, it might solve your problem in an even better way. - evgeny On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 1:14 PM, David Trasbo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello there, > > First of all: I'm a huge fan of Haml.
