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

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

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. > **[BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing](http://www.bigbold.com)** > > BigBold ialah situs yang memberikan segala macam Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing – rick [http://techno-weenie.net](http://techno-weenie.net) ---

I was getting worried about the 25MB that gets checked out from the repositories on every deployment.
