I’m trying to send the project tree for monkey to someone via email… and its impossible!

Yahoo mail blocks the upload saying it contains a virus… gmail the same.. tried renaming to PDF and that didn’t work…

What the heck? :) Has anyone had this problem before?

For the record, I installed Trend Micro antiv 2008 last week and everything checks out CLEAN on the machine and the project folder. Must be the scripts tripping these antiv scanners off.

Sigh! I am stuck :)

hey why dont you zip the whole project folder… Try using winzip or winrar….

zipping the folder has worked for me.

If you’re wanting to collobarate on the project – you might look into putting it up into a subversion host.

I’ve used this company with good success for the inexpensive plan.

Eldon can you gimme good tutorials for using subversion.. I know the svn command like import, commit, checkout but I need to know when to use which command… a screencast would be much prefereable…. I think google offers free svn hosting if we sign up for a a project at code.google.com

i linked to a couple resources for getting a rails project into subversion in this thread

Not aware of any screencasts that show this, however I have been introducing subversion into my current contract and may be making a screencast on it in the next few months (but that doesn’t help you now)

Obviously there’s the free subversion book on the web that’s a great resource.
I also enjoyed the pragprogs book on subversion even though it’s a little out of date now.

A quick update: I couldn’t figure out the problem that was dogging me with project commit on TortoiseSVN so I went back to installing SVN and using the command line tool – it all works now. No GUI.

Oh yeah I don’t use GUI’s either. The closest I get is the SVN bundle in textmate at times for doing commits occasionaly but most everything I do is command line.

I’ve found that if take the time to learn the command line – then the rest is pretty easy. However if all you use is a GUI – you never really seem to truly understand SVN

I came across this subversion screencast recently and thought it was good for a beginner. The thing that confuses me is having a subversion host, is that nescessary? I am with dreamhost and thought about creating a repository there but is it better to take an actual subversion based host?

Beta,

No you should be fine using Dreamhosts subversion repository. back in the day (i.e. a couple of years ago), a company i was working for had a few of their PHP applications hosted at Dreamhost and I used Dreamhosts repository until my employer had enough money free to buy an internal subversion server.

Other than not liking their web-based wizard for setting it up – I don’t recall having any problems.

I just wouldn’t host any Rails apps with Dreamhost though.

Dreamhost + Rails. What a combination!

Last summer I tried some basic Rails tutorials and hoped to the deploy the apps to my Dreamhost account – but it turned out to be an absolute nightmare. The Dreamhost wiki section on Rails was mind-bloggling. I gave up in the end after a gozillion customer service emails.

I might give it another try, though. I’ve actually got to grips with Rails now (before I was just copy/pasting), so that should make a BIG difference. Plus Dreamhost seemed to have perked up supporting Rails. I’ll definitely be using one of my Peepcode credits on the Capistrano 2 tutorial…

So much bitterness, you guys sound like you are talking about an old girlfriend :)

I dont know… they have improved the wiki a lot now, but I have a couple of apps in heroku and as long as its not going to be rediculously expensive i will definatly go with that when i need to renew my hosting in the summer.
