Out of the box, Homebrew does a default installation on Sphinx:

$ brew install sphinx

However, if you're using MySQL, the thinking-sphinx gem won't work because it needs to use MySQL libraries.

If you managed to screw up the first time, uninstall sphinx first:

$ brew remove sphinx

Patched ruby 1.9.3-p194 for 30% faster rails boot

What is?

This script installs a patched version of ruby 1.9.3-p194 with patches for boot-time performance improvements (#66 and #68), and runtime performance improvements (#83 and #84). It also includes the new backported GC from ruby-trunk.

Huge thanks to funny-falcon for the performance patches.

I find a mistake in the book or somebody else points one out using the review system's notes.
I fix the mistake in the ERB/XML version of the book.
The ERB/XML version is then automatically converted into an XML document via a running Guard process.
I commit both files to the Git repository for the book, and then push these to GitHub
GitHub tells the review tool that a push has occurred, and sends through a push notification.
The review tool receives the notification and stores a job in Resque to parse the book.
A resque worker runs the job, detecting which files have changed and then updates just those chapters.
For each chapter, each element is processed individually using an XSLT file and stored in a MongoDB database as HTML (I know, right?)
When a user requests a chapter, this page is then read from the database and then cached back to Redis.
Every time a chapter is updated, be it by the automated process or by a user putting a note on the book, the cache is reset.
