Thanks, and thanks!
Second, I'd like to help. I'm a total hack (not in the good
sense), but I'm really not all that familiar with CVS, let alone
Subversion. There are lots of new features I'd love to play with,
but I'm not comfortable with the mechanics of checking it out (I
do have a pull of the latest stable version via SVN).
I'm happy to help myself--but I'd like the experts to give a
little guidance before I hose my production instance ;)
First things first: the trunk is a risky place. If you're not
facile with rails and subversion (or even if you are), it's
definitely possible to lose data.
That being said, we're pushing towards a release, so things should
be getting more stable, not less. And, because we are pushing
towards a release, the more people using and playing with the
trunk, the more bugs we can quash before general release.
To get the trunk version run:
svn co --username=guest http://www.rousette.org.uk/svn/tracks-repos/
trunk/tracks tracks-trunk
Then you'll need to create config/environment.rb, config/
database.yml, and log/ using the corresponding .tmpl files &
directories as templates. After that's configured, you can run
'rake db:migrate' from your tracks-trunk directory and update your
database. From there, you could run 'rake test' and verify that all
the tests pass, or 'script/server' to spin up Tracks on localhost
port 3000.
BTW: is Luke Melia's "drag-and-drop for context" code workable or
no? Trac seems to indicate there's some performance hiccups.
Yeah, I was never particularly happy with how that turned out and
have abandonded it for now. Things have changed enough that I
imagine it would need some major reworking to be usable. That being
said, if you're into that kind of stuff, have at it.
Again, great project. I'm looking forward to the future.
Me, too! :)
Cheers from NYC,
Luke
