script/plugin install takes an option, -x, that directs it to manage plugins as Subversion
externals. This has the advantage that the directory is still linked to the external
repository. However, it is a bit inflexible??”you cannot cherry-pick changes from
the upstream repository. We will examine some better options later.
RaPT
RaPT (http://rapt.rubyforge.org/) is a replacement for the standard Rails plugin
installer, script/plugin. It can be installed with gem install rapt.
The first advantage that RaPT has is that it can search for plugins from the command
line. (The second advantage is that it is extremely fast, because it caches everything.)

The rapt search command looks for plugins matching a specified keyword. To
search for plugins that add calendar features to Rails, change to the root directory of
a Rails application and execute:
$ rapt search calendar
