Coda, I've been thinking about this over the weekend myself. I'm not sure that packaging this as a rails plugin makes sense either. (Flare certainly makes sense as a plugin.)

On the other hand, you mentioned issues around just unpacking gems to vendor/ . If that's the case, I'd rather have a reliable plugin than a semi-reliable unpacked gem. Any more info on that?

Coda Hale updated SOLR-154:
---------------------------

    Attachment: solrb_vendor_package.diff

Here's an updated rake task for packaging solrb for use in the vendor directory of a Rails project.

I disagree with Jamie's approach in making solrb a Rails plugin. It doesn't modify or extend any of the Rails libraries, nor does it even use libraries like ActiveSupport.

Placing it in the vendor directory (and adjusting the directory structure so as to allow it to load with the same requires without messing with the load path) seems like the best option to me.

Added package tasks for creating Rails plugin and namespaced both the rails and gem packaging --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

Solrb's (sol.rb's?) rake file has a package:vendor task that is not generating proper rails plugin structure. Rather than just fix this, I've added a PackageTask to package up a proper Rails plugin directory structure and also build distributable packages. Included are the README, LICENSE.txt, and init.rb generated and destroyed on the fly. Also, I've namespaced the Gem PackageTask and the Rails PackageTask, so the commands:
rake rails:package (and repackage, clobber, clobber_package)
rake gem:package (and the rest...)
package their files up and dump them into pkg/rails and pkg/gem, respectively. Their clobber tasks will only remove the sub- directory under pkg/, not pkg/ itself. rake package, rake repackage run both package tasks, while rake clobber and rake clobber_package remove the complete pkg/ directory.
