Scaffold Generation Unneccessary?

[jrwest]

Do the Jobs views & controllers, other scaffolding provided with b-fu really need to be generated? I don't see anything in them where templates are needed. We could just add a UI path and add it to the necessary load paths. Developers have to add to their routes.rb anyway. See http://github.com/jrwest/rcumber for an example.

I completely agree. Maybe we could use Rails 3 way of doing this - a subapp?

[jrwest]

subapp seems like good idea, especially if that was how Rails3 intends for it to be used but then do we risk losing <= 2.3.5 support? seems like many repos (rspec and some other big ones included) are coming to same fork in road, whether to maintain 2 repos one that supports rails 2 the other rails 3. or one that supports both. Maybe this needs to be a separate discussion point tho.

Differences between Rails 2 and 3 are too big to keep compatibility without having ugly code. I prefer moving forward, what you say? :)

[jrwest]

Yea I agree. We can keep the old stable branch up for people who want to use it. Call the new release B-Fu 2 and only support rails 3. People can grab the old stable branch from <= 2.3.5. If there is real request for it we can always merge things we know are supported into the old branch.
