    Great stuff Matt, keep it up. Just what Merb needs at the moment.

    Matt,

    Could you provide and example of getting app rolling with new Edge Datamapper and Edge Merb with PostgreSQL? use_orm :dm_core and adapter still have issues it seems.

    @Michael, I could do that, but it would involve re-installing PostgreSQL, I'll add it to the todo list, perhaps someone who already has it working will add it.

    Nice article Matt,
    I found Merb to be a very promising framework.
    When I installed it I experienced some problem with DataMapper, so maybe my experience could help someone (http://carlopecchia.eu/blog/?p=15).
    TNX!

    Very well done. One adjustment I had to make: use_orm :dm_core fails for me but use_orm :datamapper works. I'm on the Edge of datamapper and merb, as shown in this blog entry, and at least today (May 10, 2008), that seems necessary. Unless I missed something along the line...

    Where I'm really left hanging here is how to actually deploy a merb application set up with all these edge gems. I think the answer is to freeze said gems, but that's actually turned out to be a little more complicated than I expected.

    Otherwise, awesome work on these blog posts and on taking the initiative to create the merb book at merb.4ninjas.org. (Though the book does have a section for deployment, it ignores the fact that we developed the application on edge; it instructs you to install the rubyforge gems, which is obviously bad.)

    I look forward to learning the correct way to go about freezing all of our edge merb and DM code for deployment.

    Hi Brent,
    We recently had the same problem when deploying as frozen-merb was broken when running our specs, having different versions of merb is a pain, we currently have each app on a different box and just install the gems from source. Although when frozen-merb is fixed it should be a good solution.

    I'll try and add more to the book next week, however I'm currently a bit busy.
