Hey Brian,
asset_packager is probably out of date now that rails 2 has a 'cache'
attribute available for the javascript_include_tag. To replicate the
minification, all you need to do is monkey-patch in a call to jsmin.

This method is problematic if you need to get your assets on a CDN.
I think asset packer got it right: in your rails code

Something as simple as caching all the js/css files into a single file
not only makes it lighter on the number of requests, but also makes a
single target for creating a cap task to minify/compress each of
these. There's a blog post on this somewhere around, but I can't find
it.
So, we tackle i

Are you saying that the extra 10% compression gained from using a
minifier like YUI Compressor is noticeably better than a reduct
Just to be clear, "packaging" tools for JS fall into in 2 distinct
camps:
1) Minification - removing comments, whitespace, etc. Doesn't change
any of your code, just squishes it up.
2) Compression/Packing - Minification plus identifier replacement,
code optimization, etc. Could do all sort

I don't have the references, but I was just looking at some ruby tasks
to push your .js against the YUI Compressor service. just do a search
on github for yui.

I've used asset_packager before
(http://github.com/sbecker/asset_packager/tree/master
) to minify and join css and js files.

I like asset_packager. Includes rake tasks that you can build into your
capistrano recipes to generate fresh, cache-busted js and css on each
deploy.
