non-gem packages 2.1.x contain hardcoded MacOS ruby script paths and out-of-date configuration

Reported by Christopher Currie | October 26th, 2008 @ 04:42 AM | in 2.x

When downloading Rails from RubyForge using the zip or tgz distributions, the scripts in the "public/" and "script/" directories have a shebang line with hardcoded MacOS system paths. In addition, the config/database.yml file still has MySQL as the default database, instead of the current default of sqlite3.

The non-gem distributions should contain the same files as would be generated by the gem after running "rails" with no arguments.

The second problem of database config is a simple patch to "railties/Rakefile" (attached). The first problem is due to the use of "copy_with_rewritten_ruby_path" in this same file; I'm not sure I understand why this is used at all, since it's almost certain to be wrong (on my machine, it results in /usr/bin/ruby1.8). I'm hoping one of the devs can weigh in and say whether it's ok to remove this method.
