Re: [Rails-devel] New build process and installer for Rails 2.0?

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

As far as the build process goes - I have minimal idea on how the

As far as installer goes, is this necessary?  Currently just download,
extract and run the .jar works nicely (at least for me, maybe there
are people out there who struggle with that?)
