Traveling Ruby author here. This is not for phone apps. It is for Linux and OS X apps.
It is also not for graphical apps. Instead, it's primarily for command line apps. Potential examples of use cases that it's trying to cover:
- Chef Solo
- Heroku Toolbelt
Both of the above are written in Ruby, and both of them are command line apps targeting users who are familiar with the command line, but neither of them are necessarily used by Ruby programmers. Thus, users of the above two tools should not have to install Ruby first.
- ultimoo 12y agoGreat project! Also, why not target the regular chef-client too? Managing a ruby installation with gems may be unnecessary on servers too.
- FooBarWidget 12y agoI only spelled out potential use cases. Opscode might also be able to use Traveling Ruby to package chef-client, but I've only had experience with chef-solo so I can't comment on chef-client.
