Hi Jens, That looks promising and I will dig in to it when I have a chance over the next couple of days. However, looking through the comments people have had problems running it on Windows. Also, I am not sure if I can freeze a ferret gem that will work on both Windows and Linux. Do you think this would be possible?
If not, i am leaning towards just tweaking my TextDrive setup to look for gems in an additional location that is outside of my deploy path... so I don't have to reinstall ferret every time I upload a new version of my application.
