Subject: [ruby-talk:28855] [IDEA] creating stand-alone versions for easy distribution etc

hi list,

I was looking around for a way to package a ruby-app of mine for easy
distribution to some of my non-ruby/non-programmer friends. I didn't come
across anything other than a program by Robert Feldt which was Windows only. I
wasn't happy and searched further among other scrpting languages and came
across something from the Python community called 'Installer':
http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install5_ann.html

To me this seems very doable for ruby too, and a direct port not that hard.
Anyone has any thoughts on this? I will probably start looking into this
during the holidays if no one else does before.
