Hello list, Some time back I remember discussion of a tool (I think it pre-dates engines) that let you quickly/easily deploy multiple instances of a single Rails app onto a single server. If, for example, you had multiple customers that wanted to run the same application, but with e.g. different logos and possibly slightly different rulesets, this tool could make a "clone" of an application and let you override the core views/controllers/models if and where you needed to do so. I''ve completely forgotten the name of this tool, and searching a few possible keywords in Google hasn''t been enlightening. Could someone please tell me what this tool is called, as I''ve got a possible use for it? Thanks in advance Dave M.
Not positive, but was it "productizing?" http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsProductGenerator On Nov 28, 2005, at 8:06 PM, David Mitchell wrote:> Hello list, > > Some time back I remember discussion of a tool (I think it pre-dates > engines) that let you quickly/easily deploy multiple instances of a > single Rails app onto a single server.
