Rails committers, (feedback from others welcome) Would you accept a patch--in principle, obviously the implementation matters--that would:
1. allow Rails to load a plugin from gem 2. permit the plugin script to install them 3. give the plugin generator's default Rake file the ability to package and publish a gem 4. introduce freeze/unfreeze for plugins Why? - RubyGems's handling of dependencies and updates is mature. - When I am writing my own plugin I want the source in my project, but when I am using other people's code I want to express that as an application dependency. - Some Rails plugins have a life outside of Rails, e.g. models that get used by non Rails apps. Thanks, (BTW please forgive the cross-post. Jamis suggested that the rails list was not the best place for this.) -- John-Mason Shackelford Software Developer Pearson Educational Measurement 2510 North Dodge St. Iowa City, IA 52245 ph. 319-354-9200x6214 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pearsonedmeasurement.com _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
