I've just released a new version of Sashimi (0.2.1), it fixes a bug for Ubuntu.

The Problem

When the script starts tries to load repository concerned classes: GitRepository and SvnRepository, which are subclasses of AbstractRepository. In repositories.rb I use Dir#[] to load all the .rb files in a certain directory, but the order of the resulting array is unpredictable, so if the first class was not AbstractRepository Sashimi was crashing.

The Solution

I've fixed it, so, if you have experienced this problem, please update Sashimi with:

$ (sudo) gem update sashimi

Sashimi has just hit 0.2.0!

This release has no sugar for you! No new features, just test improvements and code robustness.

Here a getting started tutorial for Sashimi

.

I just released a new version of Sashimi, with tiny fixes and a new home! In fact the project is also hosted on RubyForge, now you can install the gem with:

$ (sudo) gem install sashimi

or with:

$ (sudo) gem install jodosha-sashimi --source=http://gems.github.com

If you wish, you can visit the project pages on GitHub and on RubyForge.

UPDATE The release 0.1.6 is broken, you are strongly encouraged to update your gem with the newest 0.1.7.

Yesterday I announced Sashimi and now it's already time of tasteful updates.

Changes

First, thanks to all the people that appreciated my work. Second, new commands and options are avaliable for Sashimi.

Update all plugins in your repository:

$ sashimi update --all

Install a plugin to your Rails app:

$ sashimi install --rails click-to-globalize

NOTE this is an alias for the add command.

Update a plugin of a Rails app:

$ sashimi update --rails click-to-globalize

NOTE If your application is versioned with Svn or Git, Sashimi will automatically schedules for add/remove the added/removed files.

How To Update

$ (sudo) gem update jodosha-sashimi --source=http://gems.github.com

I hope you enjoy those addictional options.

I have a really, really bad memory: each time I need to install a Rails plugin, I Google to find the repository, then try to download the code. Often, I remember the url, but the server is down. Damn!

All this annoying issues kill the Rails rapidity on application prototyping. But, what if all the plugins which I need are available offline on my notebook? I can forget about all that urls, and I should stop to worry about the server status.

To solve this problems, I wrote Sashimi, it's a gem that manages you favourite Rails plugins in a local repository.

How It Works?

First you need to install it with:

$ (sudo) gem install jodosha-sashimi --source=http://gems.github.com

Now you can install a plugin on your local repository:

$ sashimi install git://github.com/jodosha/click-to-globalize.git

Ta-daaaa!! Now Click to Globalize is available offline:

$ sashimi list

click-to-globalize

If you need to add it to your Rails app, just move to your app root, then type:

$ sashimi add click-to-globalize

Conclusion

I found Sashimi really useful, I hope you too.

For the complete reference, please check out at the official gem page.
