It can be a bit tricky if your gem has dependencies that are not part of the heroku stack. It will compile native gems for you (within reason - no Win32 gems for instance) and generally works pretty well. It can make your app size very big though, and can make deploy times very lengthy. -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
