ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i686-linux]
Ferret code freshly cloned from http://github.com/sdsykes/ferret .

When I try to rake test in the ruby/ dir, the build fails with this:

Whoops, the file went missing when I upgraded wordpress. It is now restored to the proper place – please try again.

Hi Stephen,
Is the gem file still available for download? I could not download it. I am stuck with my project as we have to move on to Ruby 1.9.1 and we are using ferret. The acts_as_ferret v0.4.4 installed successfully. But not ferret with Ruby 1.9.1. Any help will be appreciable. Thank you.

@tvdeyen: Yes, I sent a pull request some time ago, but no response as yet.

AAF – I went to make a fork but noticed you have already done it yourself – I have updated this post with a link.

Hi Stephen. Great work.

Do you sent a pull request to David Balmain? I think this is some important fix.

Do you have a an fork of the acts_as_ferret gem, i can’t find it on github. Acts_as_ferret fails for me with your ferret gem, any idea?
