Application Gems

Rails 2.1 now includes a mechanism for automatically installing gems via the 'gems:install' rake task. (And not before time).

For users using Rails 2.0 the brightbox command creates a 'gems:install' rake task for you in the file lib/tasks/bbgem.rake

If your application uses gems then edit this file and uncomment the gem installation command. Then add the list of required gems to the command.

The deployment scripts will run this task and install the gems into the systems directory.
