Issue #3728 has been updated by Igal Koshevoy. Status changed from Accepted to Needs design decision
Do we actually want to do this? We already have three different ways to install the Dashboard (1. source, 2. deb/rpm, 3. apt/yum). Is another method necessary? Rails apps aren't designed to be installed from gems. We'd need to add some kind of installer to this gem that a user would then run to create an instance of the app, which would create a writeable directory that the user can store data in and somehow symlink all the read-only assets from the gem into this so that the app thinks it has the necessary files but can still write to the files and directories that it needs to. I'm unsure how good of an idea this is. ---------------------------------------- Feature #3728: Should have a gemspec for the dashboard http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3728 Author: James Turnbull Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: 1.1 Keywords: Branch: Affected URL: We should create a gemspec so people can install the dashboard via a RubyGem. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
