Delayed job and daemons

[Chris Roos]

I'm afraid I don't know too much about delayed_job so I apologise if
this is stupid question.

Line 2 of lib/delayed/command.rb[1] requires daemons but daemons isn't
listed as a dependency in the gemspec. Is that intentional?

Actually, another quick question. The homepage on gemcutter.org[2] is
listed as the collectiveidea fork and not tobi's original[3]. What
are the differences?

Cheers, Chris

I'm not sure if this is intentional. I think it may be since you don't have to use daemons to use DJ. We'll look at it.

Collective Idea (my company) did a lot of work pulling in patches and publishing the gem, so the gemcutter gem is based on the collectiveidea version.

There's been some talk on this list about setting up a "blessed" fork, but until that happens we'll keep pulling in patches.

Cheers,

I think it does make sense not to list daemons as a dependency in the
gemspec if you can use delayed job without it.

That's makes sense.
