Rails observer (removed from core in Rails 4.0)

Provide a standard and simplified way to build and package Ruby extensions (C, Java) using Rake as glue.

Rake is a Ruby make-like utility using standard Ruby syntax for the build specification file. It has the following features: - Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?) - Users can specify tasks with prerequisites. - Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks. - Rake is lightweight. It can be distributed with other projects as a single file. Projects that depend upon rake do not require that rake be installed on target systems.

Ransack is a rewrite of MetaSearch created by Ernie Miller and maintained by Ryan Bigg, Jon Atack and a great group of contributors. While it supports many of the same features as MetaSearch, its underlying implementation differs greatly from MetaSearch, and backwards compatibility is not a design goal. Ransack enables the creation of both simple and advanced search forms for your Ruby on Rails application (demo source code here). If you're looking for something that simplifies query generation at the model or controller layer, you're probably not looking for Ransack (or MetaSearch, for that matter). Try Squeel instead.

RaPT (Rails Plugin Tool) is a faster, updated replacement for the ./script/plugin tool that ships with Ruby on Rails.

Rash is an extension to Hashie Rash subclasses Hashie::Mash to convert all keys in the hash to underscore. The purpose of this is when working w/ Java (or any other apis) that return hashes (including nested) that have camelCased keys You will now be able to access those keys through underscored key names (camelCase still available).

FSEvents API with Signals catching (without RubyCocoa).

rubygem-rb-inotify is a ruby wrapper for libinotify, using ffi.

This is a simple wrapper over the kqueue BSD event notification interface (supported on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Darwin). It uses the FFI gem to avoid having to compile a C extension.
