New Merb 1.0 is Out

Yea… great? Let’s install that. I used thor. First copy the whole archive:

thor merb:clone

Merb 1.0 installation

Nice, let’s uninstall all old things first:

thor merb:gems:wipe

and now installation:

merb:install:core

merb:install:more

merb:install:plugins

Errors as usual:

Failed to install gem ‘/home/szymon/src/merb/merb/merb-plugins/merb_screw_unit/pkg/merb_screw_unit-0.9.9.gem (0.9.9)’ (merb-slices requires merb-core (>= 0.9.10, runtime))

Create The First Merb Application

merb-gen app my_first_application
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:578:in `report_activate_error’: Could not find RubyGem merb-gen (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:134:in `activate’
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `gem’
from /usr/bin/merb-gen:18

I’m getting used to those errors, no way to use merb and I’m really afraid of using that on a production site. I think that nobody there checks all those errors. Last time there was some letter missing in a released version, more here: whats-wrong-with-merb
