How to freeze to 2.1.0-RC1?

Rails
1

What TAG or REVISION number do I use to rake rails:freeze:edge to
2.1.0-RC1? I’ve tried TAG=rel_2-1-0-RC1 and TAG=rel_2-0-991, but without
success.

(I’m on shared hosting, so I can’t just gem install rails easily.)

Also, when I freeze without a parameter (= bleeding edge if I understand
correctly) and specify RAILS_GEM_VERSION=‘2.0.991’ in environment.rb, it
seems to recognize the 2.1.0 features, but “rails -v” and “ruby
script/about” still say “Rails version 2.0.2”. Is that normal?

That should be “when I freeze to edge without a parameter”

You can also get a compressed version of it from the github site if
you’re not using git and then uncompress it into your vendor
directory.

I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong, but I don’t think you can use
rake rails:freeze… to get 2.1, since it’s only on github. Instead
you have two alternatives:

  1. Install it as a gem from the beta server: sudo gem install rails
    –source http://gems.rubyonrails.com/ and then freeze the gem.
  2. install it using git:
    cd vendor
    svn rm rails (If you already have vendor/rails)
    git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git rails
    git checkout v2.1.0_RC1
    cd …
    rake rails:update
    svn add .

Thanks, it worked!

cd vendor
wget http://github.com/rails/rails/tarball/v2.1.0_RC1
tar xvzf rails-rails-lotsofhexdigits.tar.gz
mv rails-rails-whatever rails

Didn’t think it was that easy.
