Hi, Twiek --

I'm not familiar with installing Ruby in Cygwin, but it looks like you need to 
turn your attention back there. From this error message, it seems readline 
isn't installed.

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile

[stephen murdoch]

yes Keenan, it's definitely my slug size that's creeping up (same
problem others are having)

I did some digging and this is what I found:

According to the command-line output, my bundle is getting installed
to `.bundle/gems`.

I decided to try and vendor my gems to see if this would make a
difference.

Firstly, I downloaded the source for the compass gem and stuck in my
vendor/gems directory.
Then in Gemfile I pointed to the vendored version like so:

   gem 'compass', :path => File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '/vendor/
gems/compass')

I ran bundler again and pushed to heroku and watched the gem install
and the slug increase in size.

Then I removed the gem from my vendor directory, bundled and pushed to
heroku again, and this time, the slug size decreased!

So a possible fix for this problem might be to just vendor all gems
until it's sorted out.

Can't say that i've tested this out thoroughly but will give it a shot
tonight when I have time just to be certain.

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile

I discovered something similar about a month ago. I dug around the
directory structure using heroku console, and noticed that the
"deleted" gems still existed in the slug's .bundle folder.

Re: Add SSH Key to Heroku (using Windows/Cygwin)

[Twiek]

I followed their guide but it unfortunaltely didn't work for me. I
have a SSH-Key and it seems to work (I used it for opening a github-
Account). The problems start when I enter the following:

$ heroku

or

$ heroku keys:add

This results in the error message seen above. My guess is that it's
some problem specific to cygwin/windows but I'm not sure.

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile

[guillaume fradin]

I was actually going to write support about this issue for my app, but I ll
try here first

the slug size of my app has slowly been increasing after each commit, now up
to 73Mb. This is definitely not a big application, so I believe something
wrong is happening. Could easily be my fault, off course.

as heroku mentions here http://docs.heroku.com/slug-compiler, if I want to
try and estimate the slugsize of my app, I do a fresh clone of the rep,
delete the .git dir, and a "du -hsc" shows me 23Mb. big difference.
on top of that, if I also delete directories mentionned in my .slugignore,
it gets down to 6Mb. so I dont understand why there is such a difference.

Could it be from the gemfile? Mine looks like this: (I dont think there is
that many dependencies)

source :gemcutter

gem 'rails', '3.0.0'
gem 'pg'

gem 'awesome_print', '0.2.0'
gem 'aws-s3'
gem 'devise', '1.1.1'
gem 'delayed_job'
gem 'formtastic', '~> 1.1.0'
gem 'haml'
gem 'heroku-autoscale'
gem 'hoptoad_notifier','2.3.6'
gem 'memcached-northscale', '0.19.5.3'
gem 'nokogiri'
gem 'oauth'
gem 'recurly'
gem 'sunspot', '1.2rc2'#, :require => 'sunspot'
gem 'sunspot_rails', '1.2rc2'#, :git => '
http://github.com/outoftime/sunspot.git'#, :branch => "v1.2"
gem 'will_paginate', :git => "git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git",
:branch => "rails3"
gem 'warden', '0.10.7'

group :development do
# looks like removing them can free 5-6 Mo of slug size
gem 'compass', '>= 0.10.2'
gem 'ruby-debug', '0.10.3'
gem "yui-compressor"
gem 'closure-compiler'
gem 'heroku'
gem 'heroku_san'
end

anyone has any idea how to reduce it? I feel I could easily get stuck in 6-8
weeks where I could reach the 100Mb limit.

Re: Koi (how variable is variable?) vs. Ronin (expensive!) vs. Amazon RDS (winner?)

[mattsly]

Thanks Chris - that's great to know that you're handling that much
traffic w/ only 2 dynos and Koi. I have highly cachable content as
well, and plan on aggressively using varnish, as well as caches_page
behind that, and then rendering user specific partials ("welcome back
username") w/ ajax (sounds like you're doing the same).  I haven't
turned all that on yet, b/c I want to really exercise the full end-to-
end under some load first.

With Koi, are your New Relic DB throughput and response time numbers
pretty consistent?  What is the variance that you're seeing in terms
of database response time for the same queries?  Any sign of timeouts
caused by a slow DB response?

And I wonder if anyone else out there has had success w/ Amazon RDS?
The long-term pricing to get dedicated database is very attractive,
and I'm more familiar w/ MySQL that PostGreSQL

m

p.s. As an aside, I am surprised by how little activity this group
gets?  Latest home page on heroku said there are 90,000+ apps running
on the platform...but like 3 messages posted a day.  Kinda weird?
Implies that either a) people are just using the free "hello world"
version, or b) it's just that damn easy that nobody is hitting
issues :)

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile

[Chris Hanks]

According to the Heroku docs (http://docs.heroku.com/slug-compiler),
the git repository is not included in the slug.

I've had the same experience as Stephen - I'd specify gems in my
Gemfile that would push the slug size up, and then remove them without
any effect to the slug size. Then I could destroy the app, create a
new one from the same git repository and wind up with a smaller slug
size than I'd had before.

Re: Compiled Slug size not changing after removing large gems from Gemfile

[Keenan Brock]

Hi Stephen,

If you checked in a gem into git
Then you deleted the gem from git.
Git still has the gem.
It is not showing up for today, but git log will show when you added it and 
removed it.

Guess I do not know if you are checking in your bundle dir and gems into git.


1. So are you saying your repo is 17mb, or your slug is 17mb?

I'd imagine that the slug would be smaller on your change to the Gemfile.
But you stating that your slug is big suggests that maybe the .git directory is 
included in the slug?


The slug size does affect the speed in which a dyno is started / compiles / 
restarts.
But I agree with Chris, I can't imagine it would slow it down too much.
