Hello –
So, I have a bunch of apps on my dev box, all currently v1.0.0. I
thought I
could use the freezing techniques to test each app for 1.1.x
compatibility
individually, but that doesn’t seem to be working out…
First, I checked out from
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/tags/rel_1-1-2/ into vendor/rails
Then I ran “rake rails:update”.
Then I went into console, and tried to check the current version of
Rails:
$ rake rails:update
$ ruby script/console
Loading development environment.

I’m guessing, for now, that I can’t do what I wanted to do (Rails 1.1.x
from
vendor/rails externals) but I’m not sure why. And, does this mean that
I’ll
be unable to jump to Rails 1.1.x until my shared host goes at least
that
far? (In other words, this freezing business appears to only work going
backwards, not forwards.)
