I am just getting started with Rake. I am trying to create a rake task
from within a rails plugin to copy some asset files (inside /assets in
my plugin folder) to my rails application /public folder.
How can I achieve this?
I am not sure whether to use FileUtils or File. Where AM I in rake
terms. No matter what I do it keeps saying it can't find the file. Do
I need to use File.join or is there a better rake way? Any resources
out there on how to use rake for file oriented tasks like this? Should
I use a generator instead?

require 'ftools' #file tools
desc "Installs famfam icons and stylesheets in application"
namespace :famfam do
desc "famfam icons and stylesheets in application"
task :install => :environment do
puts "Copying famfam icons from ../assets/icons to " + RAILS_ROOT
+ "/public/styles"
FileUtils.cd '..'
puts FileUtils.pwd
puts File.dirname(__FILE__)
File.cp "/assets/icons", RAILS_ROOT + "/public/styles"
end
end
