Recently I added a configuration mechanism to Webrat. It was surprisingly easy, and mainly copied from rails core. I would suggest adding somthing like this to any plugin that has more than a few features or ones that users have asked to have turned off.
First off you’re going to have to create the actual configuration [...]
I just posted my initial cut of my generator_missing plugin. This plugin is meant to be a repository of additional generators to help workflow. The current ones are:

lib/library_name.rb
test/unit/library_name_test.rb
Module: Generates a basic module under lib and its tests.
lib/module_name.rb
test/unit/module_name_test.rb, with a mock class that mixes in [...]
Whether you are working on an open source app or an enterprise app, it is a good idea to keep the production database connection information out of source control. To do so, add the following to your deploy.rb file:
task :overwrite_database_yml_file do
run "[ -f /var/rails/#{application}/database.yml ] && cp -f /var/rails/#{application}/database.yml #{latest_release}/config/ || echo 'database.yml [...]
Get the following rpm’s from oracle
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
(Note: this should work fine with the newer versions as well)
As root
cd PATH_TO_RPMS
rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/ > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instant-client-i386.conf
This last step, the echo, is a bit of magic. The conf files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d are run before each command is invoked to set your library path. The enviroment variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides [...]
