Hello Michel, I think this is a great example of heroku being ahead of their time.
When .gems was introduced, there wasn't a way to specify gem dependencies in a ruby project. Back then, dependencies were a mess - heroku even had to run their own custom fork of rails. Now, the Gemfile is a common and standard way of specifying dependencies. There is a whole community adding features and documenting implications and nuances. It makes sense for heroku to drop their proprietary tool and go with the common one, no? That way they can dedicate their resources on other great stuff to give to us. just my take, Keenan On Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 12:50 PM, Michel Martens wrote: > Hello, what's the reason for deprecating the .gems manifest in favor > of Bundler's Gemfile? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Heroku" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > (mailto:[email protected]). > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > (mailto:[email protected]). > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/heroku?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
