I am curious to know what the best way (or most ideal way) is to handle keeping gems/plugins updated for a Rails app that gets updated quite frequently. I am currently building an app that will be using like 8 plugins, along with 9-10 gem packages. I would like to keep these updated as well as possible while making it easy on myself to do so. Also, I want to be sure that when deployment time comes, I make that process as easy as possible as well. For the plugin side of things, I have been checking out the new "git_plugins" plugin and it looks promising. http://www.railslodge.com/plugins/1208-git-plugins For those of you using a lot of gems/plugins, how do you keep them maintained and up to date easily? --Cory --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you are using a recent version of (Rails 2.0+ I think) you can use the config.gem directive in environnment.rb like this : config.gem "hpricot", :version => ''0.6'', :source => "http:// code.whytheluckystiff.net" After that, you can do a rake gems:install on new installations.
