John,

I’d like to jot down a document about deploying on dreamhost. Would  
you want this in the wiki? If so, how does one get access?

Yes, please. Put it on the wiki. The wiki is open to everyone except for  
the home page. I’d suggest you create a HowTo for this:

John,

I couldn’t easily navigate with clicks from [radiantcms.com](http://radiantcms.com) to the  
link you provided.

Suggestions  
\* Add a Docs link to the top of the main page  
\* Add the Howtos link to the Download page

I’ll post the dreamhost docs when 0.5.1 is released. The  
missing .htaccess is just too much of a sore spot 😉

Evening,

I’m going to take Friday off of work, thought I’d throw this out  
there for folks to play with over the weekend.

Nice! Looks like a good start.

Yup. It’s one of those things I haven’t gotten to yet. I’d accept a  
patch for the styles if you have the time.

> - Can we subscribe to page changes?

This is about the closest thing I know of:

[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/timeline?wiki=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/timeline?wiki=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss)

But that’s changes for the whole wiki. Someone with a better knowledge  
of Trac might be able to tell you if it’s possible.

Thank you so much for this. I’m encountering a stumbling block,  
though: when it comes time to do

svn propedit svn:externals vendor

…I get an error message about not having set the environment  
variables SVN\_EDITOR, VISUAL, or EDITOR. I’m using OS X, with svn  
version 1.2.3 (r15833). How should I resolve this?

(I don’t remember which method I used to install subversion. It  
doesn’t look like it’s a Fink install, at least.)

One thing I noticed about your guide… it’s not necessary to manually  
create the tmp directories, “rake tmp:create” should do the trick.

I have a few questions.

Is the rails machine gem OSS?  
Are there any other gems that allow for easier deployment?  
As a sysadmin, I feel tortured running through my document… do you?  
Is there a better way?

This means that you need to set the SVN\_EDITOR environment variable. In  
bash I set mine like this:

export SVN\_EDITOR=vi

You can add the above to the “.profile” file in your home directory and  
re-login or execute it manually from the command prompt.
