Rails - Aug 2005 - moving from gem rails to edge rails?

I''m following the guide on the wiki[1] for updating an app from gem
rails to edge rails, but when I issue the Rake command, I get the
following error:

(in /private/tmp/trunk/railties)
rake aborted!
Don''t know how to build task ''default''

I''d really like to move to Edge Rails, so that I can take advantage of
switchtower, and also the improved fastcgi handler patch that Per
created.

Should I
* resolve the issue with Rake?
* just grab the files from somewhere and then copy them over the gem
counterparts?
* do an SVN checkout of edge rails first?

Thanks,
Bryce

Yo,

has anyone done this with Vendor branches?

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s05.html

I know there''s no 0.12.1 tag :P :P - but it would be great for me to
either run 0.12.1 or edge rails in vendor - and the naming seems to suggest the
use of vendor branches was anticipated.

I ran into some really ugly problems in production as a result of using gem
rails, so I''d like to maintain an iron grip over what version of rails
I''m using - basically to run hermetically sealed systems which have all
of their supporting components integrated into my local svn repos.

I''m going to give this a try soon.

Does anyone know what rake is doing when it builds rails? I''ll look
tomorrow - but it seems like it would be a good idea to tag built trees for each
release version of rails so upgrating vendor branches is a snap.

Anyway, I''ll explore this on monday and post some crap on the wiki if I
have anything useful to say ;)
