[APPLICATION RELEASE] R::PasteBin

Introduction

Wikipedia pastebin definition:

A Pastebin, Also known as a nopaste, is a web application which allows its users to upload snippets of text, usually samples of source code, for public viewing. It is very popular in IRC channels where pasting large texts is considered bad etiquette.


R::Pastebin

We created this project because we needed a pastebin for internal usage. Being a rails shop, we wanted one any developer could enhance. We looked around for rails-based pastebins and even though there is a great Attachr available, we could not find anything to install internally. Since pastebins are trivial, we just implemented our own in no time, thanks to Rails and CodeRay. It is very basic but it works fine for us so we decided to release it.


Features

Code highlights for Ruby, RHTML, HTML, Plaintext, and C. The list of supported languages is likely to grow.

An optional irc notification (controlled by config/irc.yml)


Dependencies

rpastebin uses the coderay gem for syntax highlighting. The latest version can be installed via gem install coderay -rs http://rd.cYcnus.de/coderay

The IRC client needs the Ruby-IRC gem.

The rails code is 1.2.3 so if you have to stay on 1.1.6 (as we are), just rake rails:freeze:edge in the project directory.

The search feature utilizes fulltext so it is only compatible with the MySQL MyISAM engine.
