I have a rails-app (2.3.2) that I need to install on a server on which rake isn’t installed, and on which I haven’t got privileges to install gems, so I’d like to freeze the rails gem.
However, I can’t figure out how to do that. I’ve put it in the dependencies in environment.rb, but ‘rake gems:unpack GEM=rake’ has no effect. ‘rake gems’ says rake’s a framework gem, not a frozen gem.
How do I make sure rake turns up in my ‘vendor/gems’, and how do I tell capistrano to use that version of rake?
Freezing the gem itself is fairly straightforward – if Maran’s solution won’t work for you, you can create an actual gem repository in your vendor directory and then do
gem install rake --install-dir /rails_dir/vendor/gems.The harder part is telling Capistrano which rake to use. Can you post a little more detail on what you want to do with rake and Capistrano?
