Hi everyone! The project which I''m working on is going to be installed in several clients side. Do you know if it exists any way of protecting our code? Thanks a lot in advance!

As of now I don''t believe there are any ways to obfuscate or compile Rails applications. This is why most people host the applications instead of installing to client sites. This has been discussed before... I suggest searching the archives for some really good discussions about this topic. -Brian On 5/22/07, Monica Saiz <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Hi everyone! > > The project which I''m working on is going to be installed in several > clients side. > Do you know if it exists any way of protecting our code? > > Thanks a lot in advance! > > Monica > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Here is one method of compiling Ruby.

I''ve used this several times; it''s a great way of packaging a Windows-based Ruby app into a single EXE file. I''ve used this capability as a selling point for getting Ruby into various places that I''ve worked. However, it''s not appropriate for "hiding" source code - anyone with an editor can open the EXE file and find the source without difficulty. Regards Dave M.

From the obfuscation point of view, it works just like a zip file... http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html#appdir - H --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Has this been tried to see if it "speeds up" a Rails app (specially on Windows)?

No it will not "speed up" rails app. ruby2exe doesn''t create native byte code, it merely compresses the files and copies ruby and other required lib in one package.
