How to use a branch in a fork of rails in a project with bundler

Question

I\'ve got a fork of the rails repo on github, in which I\'ve got a branch, based on the rails-2-3-stable branch. I want to develop some changes based on rails 2.3.10 togethe

Answer 1

Looks like at version 2.3.10, rails did not have .gemspec files for its components. Instead, each gemspec is specified in the corresponding Rakefile.

Otherwise you would use:

git "git://github.com/traveliq/rails.git", :branch => 'tiq-fixes', :tag => 'v2.3.10' do
  gem 'actionpack'
  gem 'activesupport'
  gem 'activerecord'
  gem 'activemodel'
  gem 'actionmailer'
  gem 'railties'
end

EDIT: That means that bundler requires a gemspec to be in place.
