Installing plugins

Rails
1

A couple of simple questions about plugins:

  1. Is the rapt plugin installer tool actively in use? I like the idea
    of the plugin pack and keyword searching, but it doesn’t seem like
    there is much activity on this project since it was posted a couple of
    years ago. Perhaps it has been obsoleted by developments with script/
    plugin?

  2. Some of the plugins out there have the source located in the svn
    “trunk” directory. When you install such a thing using “ruby script/
    plugin install svn://blah.com/pluginname/trunk” (for example), then
    you end up with a a plugin called “trunk” in vendor/plugins. This
    seems less than ideal. Is there some way to name the plugin directory
    when it is installed?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

script/plugin doesn’t do anything very magic. You could just check it
out yourself or rename it after it’s been installed.
