如何冻结特定（旧）版本的rails？

Question

I have many versions of rails installed on my system (of 2 & 3) but I want to put version 2.3.11 in the vendor folder ...

rake rails:freeze:edge RELEASE=2.3.11

tries to connect to http://dev.rubyonrails.org/archives/rails_2.3.11.zip

and times out, is there another way?

Answer 1

If you just want to use a specific version of rails you can go to the applications gemfile and replace the rails gem with the gem desired.eg

gem 'rails', '3.0.7'

to

gem 'rails', '2.3.11'

then run bundle install as for the vendor folder you might try

gem install rake --install-dir /rails_dir/vendor/gems

to create a gem repository for your vendor directory. If neither of these work you might be looking for a gem freeze in which case try http://gemsonrails.rubyforge.org/ . Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I maintain an older app and have to do this occasionally. The easiest way I've found is to install the gem locally to your system and then use:

rake rails:freeze:gems RELEASE=2.3.11
