[Sparkle] Sparkle conflicts with RubyCocoa?

[Christopher Bailey]

Hi Andy, thanks for the quick reply.  I will try Sparkle trunk.  As for
RubyCocoa, I agree, seems of light use at the moment, but I found the app
Facetastic, which is RubyCocoa and where he says he's using Sparkle (it's an
unreleased app so far though).  I've contaced the author and am awaiting a
reply to see if he's used it much, etc.  I found Facetastic through this
nice list of RubyCocoa tutorials, tips, tricks, and links to apps using it:
http://www.rubyinside.com/the-ultimate-list-of-rubycocoa-tutorials-tips-and-tools-728.html

I've done some Objective-C stuff in the past, and have a screen saver
(Visionary Saver: http://cobaltedge.com/index.php/visionary-saver/) written
in it.  In face, I want to look at putting Sparkle into the screen saver,
but obviously that has slightly different use/check for update times (e.g.
doing it on launch isn't a good idea - will likely just put a button in, but
have to see how the whole restart thing works, since it all lives as a
bundle in System Prefs).

Anyway, I'll post more here when I have further info.
