Hi,
I’ve just had to “freeze rails” for the first time as Dreamhost isn’t on the latest version yet. So I’m assuming I will freeze rails into my application, add the new vendor/rails directory to my subversion repository ( i.e. will commit all the rails files as part of my application), then run “cap deploy” to upload the whole application including the local rails files to my server.
Q1 - Is this the current best practice approach? If not what are most rails developers doing here re SVN and deployment approach?
Q2 - This approach seems to impact the deployment turn-around time (given the Capistrano / SVN approach), i.e. will take quite a while now to deploy each new version onto my hoster for testing. Am I missing something here perhaps?
Thanks Greg
