I’m afraid to tell it gem update rails because I think that would  
probably install 2.0.2 and I only want to go from 1.2.3 to 1.2.6

How can I update rails (Linux) to 1.2.6 ?

“gem install rails -v=1.2.6” will do it just fine.

PS:

You could also do a “rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel\_1-2-6” - that would  
only  
upgrade this specific rails application.

it did… it’s not very well documented, perhaps it’s my gem version  
itself which is 0.9.4 which I should probably update too.

Thanks
