Re: [Rails-devel] New configuration system + new release is delayed

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Erik:
sorry as stated below I was not sure if you should add
profile.parent=root inside your profile, as I did send the mail
from my phone.

It turns out that you should NOT add that line (or remove it now).

I forgot to add the cli option, it is available now (simply add 
-Dprofile=MY as argument). Your profile starts on my system now it only 
looks weird because of the usual encoding issues for the money symbol.

ALL:
I am currently on vacation and I had hoped for WLAN here, but no luck.
How can someone create an apartment park in 2008 and forget to add
that feature :-(
So I am not able to upload the new release until my return next week.
Unless someone else wants to volunteer, there is another release delay.
But maybe it allows to fix some remaining issues.
