Dependencies

A port of Merb's dependency system to a Rails plugin.

Usage

Install the plugin

 script/plugin install git://github.com/ddollar/dependencies.git

Add the following line to your config/environment.rb
```
 config.plugins = [:dependencies, :all]
```
Add the following line to your .gitignore
```
 gems
```

Create a config/dependencies.rb file that looks like:

 dependency 'gem'
 dependency 'gem', '1.0.1'
 dependency 'gem', :require_as => 'Gem'
 dependency 'gem', :only => %w(test staging)
 dependency 'gem', :except => 'production'

 with_options(:only => 'test') do |test|
   test.dependency 'tester-gem'
 end

Remove or comment out any config.gem lines from config/environment.rb or config/environments/*.rb
Install the gems into your project and keep them up to date using:
```
 rake dependencies:sync
```
Alternatively you can use the following rake task to read your existing config.gem declarations and output a file suitable for this plugin. This task will appropriately handle any gems that you are currently loading on a per-environment basis as well.
```
 rake dependencies:import
```
