Dev.rubyonrails.org down

Rails

It’s been down for the past five minutes. :frowning: Perhaps I should
rethink my choice of deploying my staging apps using edge rails.

Well, http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ is a Trac app (read python), so
this is hardly a reason to avoid edge rails.

And it’s back up.

I took that to mean that he’s depending on it to actually deploy the
app, and the downtime is impeding him.

Here’s a switchtower/rake task that I use that keeps a copy of edge
rails in my shared directories on the server. Each deployment gets
its own rails revision saved on the server. I don’t change rails
revisions every time, so I may have several deployments using the same
rails version. Most of the time I don’t even hit the ror server to
deploy.

A-ha. Good catch :slight_smile: The gem servers are not 100% either, so it
probably doesn’t matter that much.

Ooh, that’s quite cool. I was getting worried about the 25MB that
gets checked out from the repositories on every deployment.
