Rails gem添加文件

Question

I want to use paperclip , but it doesn't support CloudFiles. A fork of paperclip adds a cloud_files.rb file to the lib/paperclip/storage directory (this is also where the Amazon S3 file that comes with paperclip is). How would I add this to my rails app?

And is there anyway to do it without having to clone the repo and use rake install ?

Answer 1

In this situation, the author of the cloud files fork has actually created a separate gem, paperclip-cloudfiles , so you can just use that Gem instead:

gem 'paperclip-cloudfiles'

However, you can also just point to the git repository instead:

gem 'paperclip', :git => "git://github.com/minter/paperclip.git"

Then do a bundle install and you should have access to the CloudFiles additions.
