Hi,

New to rails, ruby & subversion. I’ve gone through the installation  
of rails-engine and used the svn:externals mechanism to reference the  
external repository.

Now, when it came time to install the login\_engine, I saw that the  
documentation suggests either:

script/plugin install login\_engine  
or  
svn co [http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/plugins/login\_engine](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/plugins/login_engine)  
\<MY\_RAILS\_APP\>/vendor/plugins/login\_engine

to get the login\_engine.

Is there any reason I couldn’t use a svn:externals reference for the  
login\_engine as well as the rails-engine?

## Thanks.

Bradley M.

Absolutely none at all - that’s what we do here.

However you should probably link to one of the specific version tags  
if this is a production application, since the /plugin versions will  
always reflect the latest version, and it’s a bad idea in general to  
give up control of exactly which version you are running.

You can find tagged versions of each plugin/engine at:

[http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/)\<plugin/engine\_name\>/tags
