similar to: SCM for a Rails project - Darcs or Subversion?

Calling all rails darcs users! We may be in the minority, but I''m sure we can still share some know how here. Question: how are you managing your vendor/rails directory? svn externals seems to be the preferred option for svn folk (at least this is the approach recommended in the Agile 2 beta). Is there a way to get the same functionality within darcs? That would seem to be the

If I can get root access, I''ll use version control for deployment as well... It beats ftp and scp hands down for speed. Setting up a repository on a remote server means I get automatic off-site backup as part of the development cycle, and deployment/site update is as simple as a three word command line entry. Small changes on remote test sites can be made with Vim (or your *nix

Hi, as our repository has now been switched to SVN I have stopped my darcs-mirror. Is anyone still interested in the darcs mirror? I would have to set up a new one for the SVN then, since I can''t reuse the history of the CVS import. If no one requires the darcs mirror, I would just trash the darcs repository and reactivate it if need arises. In other news, I have some small fixes for

I did an svn up this morning and discovered this whole new bundle of code! Lookingn through it it looks cool, but there''s no CVS support for an SCM - I''d have thought this would be more widely used than darcs. Looking at the code for subversion.rb and I thought it''d be possible to add a new scm - CVS. I''m running into 3 problems: 1- I''m still

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a

Capistrano is a utility for executing tasks in parallel across multiple remote hosts. It was formerly known as SwitchTower. Installation: gem install capistrano Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Version 1.1 introduces a few changes: * Renamed! Due to the trademark infringement debacle of last week, we had to change the name. Moving forward it will be known as

Hello all Are the darcs repos of wxRuby no longer updated? thanks Jani

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services. More work still needs to be done though! == TODO * Allow add_service to create more than one

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

Hi folks, I''m a linux noob, and I''m trying to pick a distro for my rails server. I don''t want to start a flame-war about linux distros! I''m interested in the best distribution for these criteria: 1 - Simplicity of getting ruby and rails set-up (gem updates) 2 - Stability (it is a server, after all) 3 - Support resources (community, and as a fall-back, paid

I''m running script/console but keep getting the message that irb.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. If it means anything I am running instant rails. I can invoke irb straight forward. TIA Stuart -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, Just trying to get Capistrano working to Dreamhost. I''m hitting a permissions issue on the reaper file at the moment. Has anyone a copy of the capistrano DEPLOY.RB file they could post or send me a copy of please? Thanks Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to find the Capistrano (was Switchtower) book. Every link to it that I can find points to http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 ...but that gives me the error message that is the subject line of this post. Google cache and the wayback didn''t help either. Is it top secret? Thanks for any advice, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I have successfully executed the "deploy" task in Capistrano/Switchtower to establish a symbolic link named "current" which points to the current version of my app. on my remote server. My app. was already deployed to the existing Rails root directory (call it "appname") though. I have Apache fronting my app. through a virtual host whose doc. root is itself

I''ve recently upgraded my box from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper, and for the life of me can''t figure out why I''m getting this exception thrown. I''ve switched from Switchtower to Capistrano, and when I run rake deploy I get this output: ** [update_code] exception while rolling back: NameError, uninitialized constant Net::SSH::Transport::OSSL

After I uninstalled SwitchTower and installed Capistrano, I tried run rake --tasks and got the error message below: rake aborted! undefined method `namespace'' for #<Object:0x28a9258> ./rakefile:10 I''ve run "cap -A ." on my Rails application before running rake --tasks. The same thing happens when I overwrite my copy of deploy.rb. Hmm, what could be going wrong

Well I finnally bit the bullet and upgrade to capistrano and have run into several issues that I can''t seem to find a fix for. Switchtower worked perfectly but I can not get cap to work especially with the change to the command to run a deploy. The following code worked fine in switchtower to deploy: switchtower -vvvv -S stage=stage -r config/deploy -a deploy The stage variable

I created a screencast showing how you can use Instant Rails to get a fully functional Rails environment running on Windows in under 5 minutes. Get started with Ruby on Rails in less than 5 minutes http://mattgriffith.net/PermaLink.aspx?guid=97aa05b7-2e38-4c7d-b184-45ab2e2715b9 Right now the video is only available in Windows Media. Eventually there will be a flash version available too.
