Every man and his dog recommends you freeze rails, awesome!  
I’ve done that and setup my svn repo and been modify the code and  
checking  
in my updates.  
Now since 2.0.2 is here and I’m on 2.0.0

How do I get to 2.0.2 ??

Please include the impact that this has on the svn repository.

Thanks 😃

I’ve always just svn rm’d the old vendor/rails, replaced it with the  
new rails and added & committed that

Cool - that’s what I thought but never actually read that anywhere. Plus  
I  
don’t actually get fully (yet) what’s happening - I’ll get it eventually  
😃

Thanks,

Nick

freezing rails just means that the appropriate source files are copied  
to vendor/rails. Nothing magic happening.
