Simple Rails 3 plugin management using Rake.
In your Gemfile:
gem "rake_plugins", :git => "git://github.com/nragaz/rake_plugins.git"
Adds the following Rake tasks:
plugin:list
plugin:install[<source>]
plugin:update[<name>]
plugin:update_all
plugin:remove[<name>]
Installed plugins and their sources are tracked in vendor/installed_plugins.yml.
You can also copy installed_plugins.yml from one app to another and then run plugin:update_all. Or, don't check in vendor/plugins -- just run plugin:update_all after deploy.
Yes, nobody uses plugins anymore. Except for Moonshine. So there you go.
