Yehuda,

I do:

$ merb-gen plugin myplugin
$ mv myplugin gems/gems
$ cd gems/gems/myplugin
$ rake gemspec
$ mv myplugin.gemspec ../../specifications

Then I added a dependency in dependency.rb

dependency "myplugin"

but I've:

FATAL: The file backend was not found

but with gem "myplugin" everything work fine.

Why?

For example for me that I come from rails Ive my own plugins, like
fileupload/managment, backend, usermanagment (with roles modules and a
lot of fatures)...

I need to port this for merb, and I love the new philosophy where
plugins are gems, but manage in dev modode 3/4 plugins is very very
hard, If I need to add/remove a new file in my gems/plugins I need to
rake a new gemspec an repeat the last 3 steps.

Is possible improve this process making a new dir in gems called "dev"
or "development" where we can put the source of our gems and test it
in our app?

Many Thanks!
