RubyWorks production stack is a collection of open-source software required to host a RubyOnRailsapplication on a Linux server.

To set up a production Rails server, you point a package manager to RubyWorks package repository, runone command, and few minutes later you have a skeleton Rails application served by a cluster ofMongrel servers, load-balanced by HAProxy, monitored by monit and controlled by runit.

Version 0.0.4 is the first release candidate on the way to version 1.0. The corestack has stabilized, and changes from 0.0.3 are all peripheral:

• Officially supported x86_64 packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS.
• Pre-compiled Ruby gems added to the package repositories: rubygem-libxml-ruby, rubygem-hpricot,rubygem-ferret, rubygem-ruby-debug, rubygem-rmagick. All these packages are optional (notautomatically installed with ‘rubyworks’ main package, but available from the sameRPM/DEB repositories).
• Added log rotation script /etc/cron.daily/rubyworks.logrotate.daily.
• BUGFIX: Corrected the value of clitimeout in haproxy.conf (changedfrom 150 seconds to 15 seconds).
• Added documentation for individual components in the stack.
