Hi, I’ve downloaded and used the login\_engine and am now working on the user\_engine–login\_engine worked fine, btw–I got the following errors (below) when running the install (same thing happened for login\_engine, I just didn’t report it then, as it seemed to work just fine–and I assume the user\_engine will too). Looks like perhaps the [svn.protocool.com](http://svn.protocool.com) and [svn.substance-it.co.uk](http://svn.substance-it.co.uk) sites both are having problems of some kind. (I don’t really know how the discover or install commands work for script/plugin, btw.) Is there a way to ‘remove’ those two sites from the list of sites that are checked when an install is done? Or do I just ignore these messages and be happy that I got my revision exported at all? (Maybe just a sentence or two on how discover and install work, in general, might help me and others learn what’s happening here. Or point me to a ‘doc’ URL that explains them? And yes, I probably need to go read through the script/plugin stuff at some point.) Thanks, Brad Here is my output, with the actual install excised (I also show my latest discover from today, first–last time I ran it was about a week ago, just fyi…)–and by the way, when I ran it the first time I had to put about 25 “Y” answers in–maybe that was my mistake? Should we know where we want to download from and/or only say "Y"es to one site? (Clearly I’m somewhat clueless about this process! 🙂 c:\cd\work\svn\myproj\>ruby script/plugin discover Add [http://rubyforge.org/var/svn/laszlo-plugin/rails/plugins/](http://rubyforge.org/var/svn/laszlo-plugin/rails/plugins/)?

You can remove these sites as login sources. On Linux/Mac the list of plugin source URLS is stored in ~/.rails-plugin-sources - I’m not sure about Windows. Anyway, remove the offending sites and they won’t be checked for plugins. The message is pretty annoying. - james ---

Thanks James! Worked fine.
