I believe that Ryan tends to prefer using gem dependencies instead of plugins when possible. This is also my own preference. I would guess that there is no further explanation provided because it seems to depend upon personal preference. I tend to prefer managing shared libraries outside of my application. I feel it eases management of shared libraries and makes upgrading my applications to use the newer version easier. Plus it also reduces the amount of code that lives inside my project (and hence my version control system). I don't really see the necessity to version control shared library code. It is also my understanding that Rails 3 will contain some improvements to the way gem dependencies are currently handled. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
