<linoj> bryanl: why isnt it good?
<bryanl> it approaches it from the point that the "merbists" are giving up
something [09:06]
<bryanl> like they are the victims
<linoj> well, its posted on merbist.com :) [09:07]
<bryanl> and is merb better than rails?
<bryanl> who knows
<bryanl> dhh is evaluating the merb router...
<bryanl> that is irrelevant. he didn't write the current rails one
<bryanl> i wonder what koz and jamis are thinking
<bryanl> and what does jeremey have to say [09:08]
<linoj> i think the point is merb has brought a number of key things to the
show which they dont want to lose or compromise for the sake of
merging [09:09]
<bryanl> but i must say, that in dhh's new blog post, the new controller api
design is pretty good

<jschoolcraft> Can someone help me with a gem:unpack issue? apache error log
says 2 gem dependencies aren't met, but they're in vendor/gems
(http://pastie.org/346983) [10:36]
<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: I've run into that. Even if you have your gems
frozen to vendor/gems that's no guarantee that they'll work
[10:37]
<bcardarella> Some gems need to compile, some need to setup external binaries
(i.e. cucumber) [10:38]
<jschoolcraft> bcardarella: so there's no way to get away from installing
system-wide gems on the production server (depending of course
on what gems your apps use...) [10:39]
<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: not for every gem out there. That's been my
experience at least
<jschoolcraft> bcardarella: alright, thanks. I'll see if I can get away with
just installing these 2 specific gems and vendoring everything
else [10:40]
<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: it is still a good idea to freeze your gems to
vendor though. At least you have a copy of the same version
you're working off it in development and can refer to it quickly
if there are any issues when you deploy
<bryanl> that has been my experience as well [10:46]
<bcardarella> Does anybody have a recommendation on a textfield autocomplete
plugin? [10:49]
<bryanl> i do it by hand
<bcardarella> bryanl: yeah, that's what I was thinking
<bcardarella> But it is for an admin area so I was just trying to be lazy :p
[10:50]
<bryanl> in rails recipes there is a way
<bryanl> let me look
<bcardarella> I think that relies upon the some stuff that was extracted out
of Rails
<bcardarella> If it is similar to the one in the Agile book
<jschoolcraft> Do you guys use gem dependencies in config? I'm still getting
an error in the apache error log: http://pastie.org/346988
[10:51]
<bryanl> actually it was the agile book
<bryanl> i just looked
<bryanl> jschoolcraft: i do. but i'm finding it doesn't work as well as i
think it should [10:52]
<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: in general I find that the frozen gems stuff is
still a little uncooked. For example, doing rake gems:unpack
sometimes won't freeze a gem for me unless I have that gem
installed. [10:53]
<bryanl> gems:unpack fails silently for me way too much [10:55]

<bcardarella> bryanl: hey, are you still doing that video that you needed help
with? [10:59]
<bryanl> sure thing
<bryanl> i'm going to be picking up in februray
<bryanl> picking it back up [11:00]
<bryanl> i'm working on the rails way screencast series now
>> /join #emacs
<bcardarella> There's going to be Screencasts for the new Rails Way?
<bryanl> yes [11:02]
<bryanl> bcardarella: send me an email at [email protected] so i don't forget
<bcardarella> sure, I'd love to help out in anything you need
<bcardarella> for the video :p
>> /join #rubyonrails [11:10]
<jschoolcraft> damn. I installed hpricot and redcloth in production, removed
the config dependencies, and it's still complaining about them
not being installed. [11:12]

<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: pastie? [11:15]
<jschoolcraft> bcardarella: http://pastie.org/346996 [11:16]
<bcardarella> jschoolcraft: do you have sudo access or did it install the gems
to your local? (i.e. ~/.gems ) [11:17]
<jschoolcraft> bcardarella: that could be it, but I thought I sudo'd [11:18]
* jschoolcraft curses under breath
<bcardarella> Can you pastie your environment.rb ? [11:19]
<bcardarella> Ubfuscating any private data of course
<bcardarella> Obfuscating :p
<jschoolcraft> bcardarella: sure, I reinstalled gems with sudo,
http://pastie.org/347000 (still no workie, environment.rb
coming up) [11:22]
