Rails 2.1 supports plugins from git.
Yep 2.1 and I used script/plugin to install from git this time. That's
new again to me since I've been using piston for quite a while (or
submodules with a git based project). The new, git compatible,
"script/plugin update" takes care of the details?
AFAIK it doesn't -- script/plugin install from a git URL is no better
than manually unpacking the tgz into vendor/plugins, i.e. completely
useless. I've pretty much resigned myself to just blowing away each
plugin directory when I want to update it, and either tracking my
local changes manually (i.e. maintaining a diff that I laboriously
reapply after updating) or monkeypatching plugins in lib/ rather than
modifying them directly.
(script/plugin update relies on svn:externals.)
Rails dependency management is getting worse. Maybe piston 2.0, with
git support, will make it better again?
Cheers,
-Tom
