Rails - Apr 2006 - How to create new rails 1.1 app if only rails 1.0 installed?

I have rails 1.0 and I cannot install rails-1.1 system-wide.

However, I can freeze_edge (but just once because of svn 1.1.4 on 
Debian).

Under this scenario, how can I create brand new rails-1.1 apps?

I know how to freeze_edge *existing* rails-1.0 apps but that process 
seems to be imperfect because the script/about command and 
/rails/info/properties URL do not work after freezing to 1.1.0 release 
or revision 4142.

--suggesting the best way is to check out the Rails trunk from SVN.

I have the ability to upgrade individual 1.0 apps to 1.1 using 
freeze_edge.

But I want to create individual 1.1 apps from scratch.

Why? Because upgraded apps don''t seem to support the
''rails_info'' or
''rails/info'' URL and the ''script/about''
command fails too (only after
upgrade).

Assuming I cannot change /usr/bin/rails -- how can I create individual 
rails 1.1 apps?

Thanks.

If you all you want is the skeleton of the app that the rails command
generates, why don''t you run that command on a different machine (that
has Rails 1.1 installed) and then just copy the skeleton?

Hi Peter,

how about something like this:

mkdir mynewproject
mkdir mynewproject/vendor
cd mynewproject/vendor
svn export http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/tags/rel_1-1-0 rails
cd ../
ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .

Regards,
Trevor
