Packaging Edge Rails as a Gem?

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Does anyone have a clue as to how to download Edge Rails and package it as a Gem for easy install? Right now I have my svn repo setup with an external link to Edge Rails but ideally I’d like to be able to create a gem from Edge Rails and install that. Any help is appreciated.

Getting the SVN revision number in Ruby

Friday, July 28th, 2006

rev = `svn info`.match('Revision: (\d+)')[1]

That bit of Ruby code will return the Subversion revision number of the working copy it is run in.

`svn info` returns

Path: .
URL: http://svn.yourdomain.com/trunk/

Repository UUID: 4e38b711-8f0e-1410-9e15-e3a330ac0d60
Revision: 894
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: pwatson
Last Changed Rev: 894
Last Changed Date: 2006-07-28 14:48:28 +0100 (Fri, 28 Jul 2006)
Properties Last Updated: 2006-07-28 14:50:11 +0100 (Fri, 28 Jul 2006)

The regex bit (.match(’Revision: (\d+)’)[1]) then returns the 894 number from that string.

(Thanks to Dela for the regex.)

S3 + Subversion

Friday, July 14th, 2006

Something I’d like to see is a Subversion repository stored on S3. From the little I know of how Subversion stores data I don’t think it would be that easy. You wouldn’t want svn sending the entire single repo file up and down to S3 everytime. You’d want the individual items and their deltas being sent.
