I know that this is all probably rather boring for the expert RSpec-ers out there, and I apologize for that.

Both Rspec and Rspec-Rails are currently distributed as both plugins AND gems? Are the plugins just available in case you don't have the ability/permission to install gems?

I can understand why there would be an RSpec gem (to use outside of Rails, of course), and I can understand why there is a Rails plugin to give you additional RSpec functionality for Rails. But I'm not sure what the purpose of the RSpec plugin is, and also not sure what the purpose of the RSpec-Rails gem is?

Is there a place online that summarizes the various distribution methods and when to use which?

Thanks,
Wes

All,

I have some experience with Rspec from about a year ago. At that time, there was a gem and a plugin, and a Rspec on Rails plugin.

Should I only be using the gem?

If you're using a rails app, install the two plugins. If not, use the gem.
