Missing inf-ruby.el in the download .zip

[claront]

Following the directions at http://rinari.rubyforge.org/Basic-Setup.html#Basic-Setup to click on the download button. That zip file does not include the inf-ruby.el file, so it breaks on startup of emacs with the (require 'rinari).

The work around for me was to do the alternate:
git clone git://github.com/eschulte/rinari.git
cd rinari
git submodule init
git submodule update

Yep, the rubyforge docs are very outdated. I just recently got Eric to give me admin permissions there, but I haven't yet fixed them up due to lack of time. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm new to doing Rails with Emacs, and this was confusing to me as well. My experience so far is that Emacs can be a powerful Rails environment, so I think it'd be a win to update rinari's docs so that new users don't get discouraged.

You may also want to mention that Emacs 24 comes with package.el, so those users don't need to install that. I ran into issues with that.

Hi @dreki -- thanks for the feedback. I agree that this really needs attention.

Since I'm now the de-facto maintainer, the plan is to move rinari to my own github account, where I can freely enable and update the wiki and move the old docs across from rubyforge.

I've already got access to the old rubyforge account, but not the source for the documentation there, so it's non-trivial to update it.

I'm sorry to admit that this remains a relatively low priority for me at this point due to the number of other commitments I have.

No worries! Just wanted to add my support to the pile.

If I'm not mistaken, the source for that documentation is doc/rinari.texi.

Hah, that would make sense!
