Rails isn't frozen in Lovd by Less

Can you freeze rails cross platform? I'm new to rails (and made this thread because of this thread) Also, do you plan to follow their guidelines?

If thou bless thee world with an application of open source, thou must ship it with the version of Rails that thou knowest it to work with in vendor/rails.

I tried freezing rails myself based on google results. Oddly, the most helpful was this terse post, while the higher results for [freeze rails] were more wordy and confusing than helpful.

So.

[dalitz]$ rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-1-0
(in /mnt/local/home/REDACTED/lovd)
cd vendor
Downloading Rails from http://dev.rubyonrails.org/archives/r...
Unpacking Rails
rm -rf rails
rm -f rails.zip
rm -f rails/Rakefile
rm -f rails/cleanlogs.sh
rm -f rails/pushgems.rb
rm -f rails/release.rb
cd -
Updating current scripts, javascripts, and configuration settings
[dalitz]$ ls
app config doc LICENSE lovdbyless public README test
CHANGELOG db lib log lovdbyless.zip Rakefile script vendor
[dalitz]$

Trying the instructions in this DreamHost specific comment (commenting out <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection</tt>, I get absolutely no change in the errors.

Here is a lovely webkit2png image.



Also, one could easily argue that it's so easy to unfreeze, that it's better frozen.

(P.S., time to go through the README file, because I am totally sure I did something wrong, but hey, maybe this could sometime serve as a guide for future Dreamhost lusers?)

Is there perhaps a way to upgrade my gems straight to the frozen directory?

[dalitz]$ rake lovdbyless:getting_started
(in /mnt/local/home/REDACTED/lovd)
Missing these required gems:
gcnovus-avatar = 0.0.7

You're running:
ruby 1.8.5 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8
rubygems 1.1.1 at /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems.
[dalitz]$ rake gems:install
(in /mnt/local/home/REDACTED/lovd)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- avatar/view/action_view_support

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

(fyi, the full trace shows it's using frozen rails)

Looks like you're missing a gem. Try this:
1. sudo gem update --system
2. gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
3. gem install gcnovus-avatar --version "= 0.0.7"

Welp,

I looked into gems on rails and was able to freeze gcnovus-avatar. Don't know if I can post that to DH though, because I had to do a gems update to get it. Maybe that's the point, though? There's also freeze all your ruby gems on a shared host and the newer Vendor Everything (site's down, linked go Google Cache) which seems interesting.

I know it's not like you're actually making money from Lovd, but if you'd consider making a frozen copy as well (since it's so easy to unfreeze, you can freeze, zip, unfreeze. even script it) for those on shared hosting, I think it'd be appreciated. At least, it'd give me a way to better tell people not to use Ning.
