Fink

Hi Michal,

I looked into this, and there's been several concerns with 1.8.5:

http://fredbrunel.com/journal/2006/12/trouble-with-rails-and-ruby-185/
http://www.infoq.com/news/ruby-1.8.5-released

Under the circumstances, I suggest you wait for things to shake out a  
bit more before switching Rails to the latest version.

rails 1.2 is out now, and is avialable in fink unstable, so I suspect
that things should be OK now.  I tested a basic rails startup and it
seemed to be doing alright...

Did they include some breakpoint solution in Rails that works with 1.8.5?

The old one used  bug that was fixed in 1.8.5.

Thanks

So mongrel does not support ruby 1.8.5.

I wonder how important that is?

Thanks

Michal

FYI, I just talked to DHH.  Rails 1.2 *prefers* 1.8.5., so that isn't  
an issue.
He isn't aware of any issues with Mongrel.

Zed Shaw says that Mongrel wants 1.8.5_p2 (patched to fix the cgi.rb  
bug).

If you update ruby, rails, and mongrel to use that, everything should  
be fully supported.  DHH also notes that:

Hope this helps,
