We are in the process of figuring out how to best deploy an application to some clients. Does anyone have any tips to suggestions? Use RubyGem? Straight tar or zip file? -- Lon Baker Speedymac LLC http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac Skype: spdemac
I''d probably shoot for straight tar/zip file, because there will often need to be DB updates when new versions get deployed. Using RubyGems might give a false sense that it''s easy to upgrade when it really isn''t. I''m thinking about using RubyGems to store shared libraries that I use between projects. Have you researched any way to deploy encrypted code, so that the client cannot "steal" your source? I don''t think it''s possible, but it''d be a great feature. - Philip On Apr 4, 2005 3:34 PM, Lon Baker <lon-JCsVN+o+Xp98UrSeD/g0lQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> We are in the process of figuring out how to best deploy an > application to some clients.

Sorry for repeating myself, the warning message from postmaster-H4aWS73dXupJd1Aiw63z1LVCufUGDwFn@public.gmane.org had me thinkin that my mail wasn''t going through. - Philip On Apr 4, 2005 5:18 PM, Philip Gatt <gattster-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''d probably shoot for straight tar/zip file, because there will often > need to be DB updates when new versions get deployed.
