Hi,

Just to tell I succeeded in compiling the postgres gem for the postgresql82 macports with the line:

sudo gem install postgres -- --with-pgsql-include=/opt/local/include/postgresql82/ --with-pgsql-lib-dir=/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/

Hi all, I will have to deploy a RoR project at the customer's site. How can I protect the code of the webapp ? Is there an obfuscator for ruby ?

Do you think of another alternative ? Thank you for your feedbacks. Fred

Search the archives of this group on <http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk&gt;, the topic's been brought up a lot, at least once during the last week.

I think the consensus is to either: #1 - host it yourself #2 - put your faith in copyright law / legal measures. Any technical solution is flawed anyway - if a computer can make sense of it, so can a dedicated attacker.

Your help is appreciated. Hosting it myself is not possible, it is a customer requirement. I dont want an ultimate solution but an minimum (does it make sense?) one, just to prevent things like, for instance, modifying easily a view... Can we make a RoR app as a compiled executable ?

Fred,

Please Google the archive. This same question was asked 2 days ago, and the week before, and the week before, and the week before....
