Package Tracks as a standalone application

First of all - nice application - really looks good and thank you for doing this and making it available to others.

Secondly, I looked at your roadmap and, to share my 2 cents worth - please think about doing the stand-alone sooner rather than later. I think GTD is going to be the only way I'm going to get myself more effective and efficient and I travel a lot (don't always have access to a web connection).

Again, thanks and I hope you enjoyed Brazil.

I'm ahead of you there :-) I found a relatively easy way to package up Tracks as a standalone application, so the next version will hopefully be distributed as both a standalone and server version. The only slight snag is that I can only compile standalones for different platforms on that platform, so I might need others to help with a Windows distribution.

red lights went on and engine started - but for the reason of not being a ruby expert I doubt that I can help much...
I recently saw a ruby2exe converter in a far out angle of my scope - try to recall. But I don't know if that will help with rails either...

although I am pretty sure that someone closer to the project already noticed, I want to point your attention on that: "Erik Veenstra has written a very cool guide on how to package Rails applications for easy distribution as native executables on Windows, OS X, and Linux":http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/10/08/distributing-rails-applications-easily

Yes, I know about that schilke, and I have used it fairly recently to make a standalone package on Mac OS X which worked really nicely. However, the changes in Rails 0.14.2 break the method. When I get a moment, I'm going to email Erik and see if he has any suggestions on how to work around.

Can this be closed as 'done by bitnami'? It is not quite ideal (third party, might not update regularly, etc.) but might be 'good enough', no?

this is 'fixed' with the bitnami install or the one of many free downloadable virtual machines out there.
