Rails Deployment: moving static files to S3

Question

Someone posted something similar but it didn't really solve the problem.

I want to move all my static files (images, javascript, css) to an Amazon S3 bucket when I deploy my app, as well as rewrite those paths in my app, is there a simple way to accomplish this? or am I in for a huge amount of work here?

Answer 1

The other question was mine :p

I ended up going with a rake task that I tied in with asset_packager and my "normal" heroku deployment process.

I would love something was much smarter and could do the heavy lifting for me though.
