Getting onto edge rails

Rails
1

Following directions from the wiki, I first tried to use svn:externals

$ svn propedit svn:externals vendor
svn: ‘.’ is not a working copy

and got that error. I then checked out the trunk into my /vendor
folder. How do I install from this source? The only install
directions I can find use gem.

Thanks for your help with either problem.

The SVN approach only works if your project is currently under SVN.
Much easier is it to do “rake freeze_edge”. That’ll checkout Rails
into vendor/rails and you’ll automatically be running Edge Rails.

The rake command doesn’t include the rails command to upgrade your
application to edge rails; it only downloads the libraries themselves.
At least that is my experience with the rake command. If you have to
upgrade a 1.0 app to edge, you need to do a subversion trunk checkout
and then run the rails command cound in:

vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails

Once you application is upgraded (watch out for over written files),
rake freeze_edge works just fine.

Is this right? This was what I had to do, but I do not know if there
is an easier way…
