The dilemma with outdated information about extensions is something I
bump into more often than i would like to. My solution is to search
rubygems for a recent gem, if there is none, look for a github repo
and take the time to sift through all the forks and find the
"best-patched" one. Try looking for big radiant contributors (Jim Gay,
John Muhl, William Ross, etc.). Sticking to their versions most of the
time does the trick. Sometimes I go the extra mile and fork and gemify
them myself.
This solution is nothing to die for and if you're depending on a lot
of (possibly stale) extensions you might not get lucky. Since so far
we fared well with this method. It's time consuming but worth the
effort if you can catch up with radiants versions.
I'm updating an old site to 1.1.1 and have a lot of older extensions
that I was using. If you are migrating, post the list of extensions
that you were using and I can let you know which ones I've verified. On
the other hand, if you're starting out, just post in what you want to do
and I can let you know if I'm doing something similar and what
extension/ fork I'm using for it.
Best Regards,
Mohit.
