Ruby on Rails has become a very popular framework for Web-based applications. And, even though Rails itself is neatly packaged and integrated in Debian, supporting Rails applications (specially in a large-scale provider) can prove rather difficult. Besides the core application, we face problems such as handling plugins, concurrent versions, and the like. In this BoF session we discussed the different problems we face, looking towards adequate solutions.
This talk was presented at DebConf 8, Mar del Plata, Argentina.

Resumen: 

Ruby on Rails se ha convertido en un framework muy popular para el desarrollo de aplicaciones Web. Si bien Rails mismo está empaquetado e integrado correctamente en Debian, el manejar aplicaciones Rails (especialmente si se trata de un proveedor de servicios a gran escala) puede ser más bien complicado. Además de la aplicación misma, nos encontramos con problemas como el manejo de plugins, tener disponibles versiones concurrentes de diferentes bibliotecas, y cosas por el estilo. En esta sesión discutimos acerca de los diferentes retos que esto nos trae, buscando llegar a soluciones adecuadas.
