Giving up Edge Rails
06/02/28

As much as I hate to do it right now with Rails 1.1 just around the corner I need to break away from edge rails and lock off on a specific revision. Luckily this is quite easy. Here’s how …

Navigate to your app root folder and then:

C:\projects\app1>svn propedit svn:externals vendor

If you haven’t set up an editor for subversion first you might get an error. If this happens you’ll have to set the editor.

C:\projects\app1>set SVN_EDITOR="C:\windows\notepad.exe" 

Ok … so once that is taken care of notepad should popup with at least one line of code in it.

rails http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/

Change that to:

rails -r 3669 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/

Where 3669 would be the revision number that you want to lock your rails app down to. Save the file, commit it and then do an update and you’re good to go.
