Apprise!

Apprise looks at your Ruby on Rails application and tried to figure out all the dependencies of the project and which ones are outdated.

Apprise currently looks for three types of dependencies.

• Gems specified in the Gemfile

• Git checkouts of plugins in vendor/plugins

• Subversion checkout of plugins in vendor/plugins

Using Apprise as a Rails plugin

$ ./script/plugin install git://github.com/Fingertips/apprise.git
$ rake deps:outdated

Using Apprise as a gem

$ gem install apprise --source http://gemcutter.org
$ apprise /path/to/rails

Requirements

Apprise currently needs a patched version of Bundler, this version is available on the Fingertips GitHub repository:

http://github.com/Fingertips/bundler

You can install it in the following way:

$ git clone git://github.com/Fingertips/bundler.git
$ cd bundler
$ sudo rake install

If you don’t use Bundler, you don’t have to install it. Apprise will work without it as well.
