I'm working on a rails application and am considering the install process
for the rails application itself. I don't mean installing rails nor the
database, but the rails application.

Would an ebuild be able to install/uninstall the rails application itself?



thanks,

Thufir

An ebuild is little more than a shell script with some helper/hook functions
built in. So: if the install of your rails app is scriptable, then yes, you
should be able to write an ebuild for it.

As for whether there is an eclass or whatever for rails apps, I don't know...

Capistrano, <http://www.capify.org/>, looks like the tool for deploying
rails apps? I was thinking of almost a desktop app once I get it
workable.
