I got a bad case of code formatting envy when I saw Cody’s post on .rjs templates. I’ve been happily running a somewhat dated Typo install since it basically worked, but when I read about the new (to me anyway) Macros, I knew it was time to make the leap.

In the past I’ve downloaded the source to my local machine, done whatever config there is, then uploaded the final pieces to my account. This time I thought I’d try the direct route. I made a backup of my typo directory and database, then did a svn checkout directly to my web account:

svn checkout svn://leetsoft.com/typo/trunk typo

I cd’d into the new typo directory and ran

rake migrate

But got these nasty errors.

So I panicked for a minute. DreamHost has upgraded to Rails 0.14.3, which is great, but I needed something newer, fresher, edgier. So I moved to my typo/vendor directory and

svn co http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk rails

And that was it! I ran migrate again and it worked like a charm. Now I have Trunk Typo on Edge Rails and it’s working great.
