Instantrails users - Jun 2008 - New release RubyStack for Windows / includes git

Hi,

Just thought I would let the list know of a new release of RubyStack for
Windows, since there is a lot of overlap in functionality and may be of
interest to some of you also using OS X and Linux. Please let me know if
it is inappropriate.

Like InstantRails, RubyStack is an open source, self-contained
distribution of Ruby on Rails that is easy to install and use. It runs
on Windows, Linux and Mac and instead of a ZIP file, it is a binary
installer, so it takes a couple of extra steps to get running. 

In addition to Apache, MySQL, this release includes git and a number of
new gems in Windows. The Linux and OS X stacks include nginx as well.

You can see the announcement at:

http://bitnami.org/article/new-rubystack-released

Please let us know what you think, what we can improve, and feel free to
ask us any questions you may have. We have learned a lot from
InstantRails, so if we can help you in any way we will be happy to do so

Best regards

Daniel

Hi,

If you can add Git to InstantRails, I guess that would be beneficial.
I''ve an a free account on Heroku and having Git already configured in
instantRails, would surely reduce my Rails learning curve. Beside
that, I prefer run a Rails stack without a binary installation, which
I guess doesn''t allow to have more versions of Rails on the same PC.
Some months ago, I have tried RubyStack, when it seemed instantRails
was going to close. But when you took it to life again, I was very
glad to come back to it, as I have had some problems with RubyStack,
that I can''t remind now.

Thanks for your efforts
Giorgio

Hi Giorgio,

Sorry for the delay in following up. You can use the git binaries from
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

Cheers
