Rails 3.0.0.beta
- SlyShy 17y agoIt's a shame Github is down right now, or I'd be playing with this already.
- sailormoon 17y agoA lot of downtime lately.
- LargeWu 17y agoIndeed. Their service seems to have gotten worse since their move to Rackspace. I mean, I know they were sort of outgrowing EngineYard, and it wasn't the right platform for them technically, but it was still better than its been since the move.
- oomkiller 17y agoI disagree, did you even use Github much before the move? I have a bunch of private repos and the new arch/hosting is much faster than the EY version was. As far as stability goes, a new arch means new code, which means new bugs. Give them a break.
- oscardelben 17y agoOk, but we paid them. Look here: http://twitter.com/github http://twitter.com/github They really have problems nearly every day lately. I prefer to download a repo a bit slower than not at all.
- pjhyett 17y agoThe last few days we were hit with a couple of issues, but prior to that the site was fairly solid for a number of months. There really is no comparison to our uptime on Rackspace compared to what it was on EY. That said, we've hired additional people to mitigate the issues we've seen recently and we'll continue to make sure it stays up. If it's any consolation, the backend team hasn't slept much these past few nights trying to bring the site back up as quickly as possible. Thanks for sticking around!
- oscardelben 17y agoGlad you are listening. I hope you can fix these issues so everyone's happy.
- bradfordw 17y agoI would go check it out, but...(see upstream articles) sigh
- timmorgan 17y agoJust a single commit wherein DHH changes all the version numbers from 3.0.pre to 3.0.0.beta (curious, what's with the extra zero all of a sudden, or rather lack of it prior?). Isn't that what releasing open source software is all about? I recall my astonishment recently when tagging 1.0 of my project on GitHub and making a blog post about it caused some actual excitement from people. Amazing to me was that the code hadn't changed dramatically for weeks; bumping the version number was the only real significant difference. I think I understand the excitement of finally seeing a project "done," yet still it feels a little odd when you're the project owner and calling something "done" can be more like a fleeting feeling rather than an absolute.
- oomkiller 17y agoIts mainly the idea that one of the creator's says it's ready for "beta" usage, instead of "edgy", that drives crazes like this.
- antileet 17y agoFor a framework that prides itself on the "Don't repeat yourself" principle, a single version number bump required repetition 22 times :) Of course, this is all in the build-files and the gem specifications, so it's understandable.
- mpk 17y agoFrom the comments, You shouldn't be surprised, action mailer, active support, active record, action pack, active resource and rails itself are all separate gems. If they are separate gems, they each need their version numbers.
