Typo Trunk on Edge Rails

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.

    Hi.
    I’m running, maybe 3 week old, trunk version of Typo on DH. And I love it and its new features. But I still have a headache with “500 server error” from time to time which means Typo couldn’t be reached for me. :)
    I’ve read your FactCGI guide and it was really helpful because I don’t see zombie processes last time. Thanks for it.
    But, about few days ago I noticed there is some problems with text filters in particular with TextTile which I didn’t have before. I was unable to add an article with enabled TextTile or it just didn’t apply any markup for my post.
    I don’t know what is the reason for that, because I’m definitely new for RoR and can’t find the problem quickly.
    I’m just curious, Am I just one person who has such kind of problems? :)

    Since I just upgraded last night I haven’t probably tested as much as you. I use Markdown with Smartypants for styling, and though I didn’t use it much, I think it must have worked ok. It should work here in the comments:

    A First Level Header

    A Second Level Header

    Now is the time for all good men to come to
    the aid of their country. This is just a
    regular paragraph.

    dog’s back.

    Header 3

    This is a blockquote.

    This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.
