Gems

This is a small plugin that helps with Ruby Gem management for your application. It will automatically include all gem/lib paths into the $LOAD_PATH on startup.

To freeze gems: 

  $ rake gems:freeze GEM=tzinfo
  (in /path/to/app)
  rm -rf vendor/tzinfo-0.1.2
  cd /path/to/app/config/../vendor
  mkdir -p tzinfo-0.1.2
  Unpacked tzinfo 0.1.2 to 'tzinfo-0.1.2'
  cd -

Be sure to require them in your environment.rb if you want them available. 

  $ script/console
  Loading development environment.
  >> TZInfo
  NameError: uninitialized constant TZInfo
  >> require 'Tzinfo'
  => true
  >> TZInfo
  => TZInfo

You can also freeze specific versions: 

  rake gems:freeze GEM=tzinfo VERSION=0.1.2

    If you need to freeze two different gem versions (e.g. hpricot for OS x on dev, Hpricot for linux on prod) check out http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/gems_with_architecture

    I'm trying to use this to freeze the bcrypt-ruby gem. Whenever I try to require 'Bcrypt' I get the following:

    MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- Bcrypt

    I changed the require statement to use the whole path, but then another require in the bcrypt library broke... do I have to go through and change every require to have a full path? Or is there some automagical locating done by require that I am missing?
