Hello, My name is Olle, and I am new here. I''d like to add some detail to Ez''s explanation in a previous email [1]. These are the steps I took to get Merb running Merb Edge (is that what you call it?). Start in the merb-root not in the dist-root. # Create dist/framework, plus script/merb stub rake merb:freeze cd dist rm -rf framework # Replace dist/framework with trunk version svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/merb/trunk/lib framework # Get rid of installed gem, you now run Merb Edge sudo gem uninstall merb Now, you''re off gems, and when you help the Merb effort by finding a bug, you can send in a "svn diff" in a simple way. best regards, Olle Jonsson Copenhagen http://ollehost.dk/blog/ [1]: Ezra gives smart recipe http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/merb-devel/2007-March/000060.html
