Hi there, as far as I know, gems can be stored in 2 folders:
1. /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems 2. app/vendor/gems When I install a gem, it automatically goes into the 1st folder. My questions are: - What are the reasons one should store the gems in the 2nd folder (app/...)? - Does it have anything to do with deployment/"portability"? If yes, how? - How should gems be put in there? Any special command or is copy/paste OK? - Do apps automatically find the correct location of the gems? Any config to do? - How are gems in app/vendor/gems updated? Using the normal gem update command? Background info: - I'm pretty much a n00b - I plan to deploy my app to slicehost.com (unless you guys know better solutions) - At slicehost, I will have access to the entire OS (Ubuntu) Thanks for any help with this!
