Rails - Feb 2006 - Encoding/Compiling Ruby Code?

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know of a way to compile/encode/obfuscate a Rails app?  
Similar to the Zend Encoder? You know, some way to distribute your  
application without distributing the source code...

Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP  
Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity. This means that  
you will see an attachment called "PGP.sig" with this message. This  
attachment can be used to prove that I am who I say I am. If you are  
not familiar with PGP, you can safely ignore it. For more

Nope.  Ruby''s interpreter doesn''t have a convenient
intermediate
bytecode, so it can''t be done at the moment.  The best bet (for now) is
hosting it yourself, or relying on a good contract and copyright law.
