Just to toss up my habits for public scrutiny:
Our little office here is behind a Linksys router/DSL modem and we share
a single RedHat Linux server for file sharing, printing and a myriad of
other services that we utilize from our Windows and Mac desktops.
I currently use SciTE on Windows 2000 Professional to edit my Ruby files
over a Samba share that resides off my Linux user home directory, and I
am telnet’d into the Linux server and do everything else Ruby-related
from the bash command-line.

I have got it working on Win XP Pro (i386-mswin32). After downloading

change to the install.rb.
Is debugging working for you (possibly for cygwin or mingw)
on 1.8.0??
Don’t know about cygwin/mingw/bcc though … sorry.
Thanks
form your input I figured there must be something wrong with
my setup. I finally tracked down to an overly aggressive compiled
readline.dll. Once I replaced this dll mswin/mingw just worked
fine;-)

Hello and welcome Ged.
I have used the RDT and quite like it. Seeing as I already use eclipse for
Java, I am happy to use the RDT for Ruby and the CDT for C/C++. I’m looking
forward to future releases of the RDT.
Signed,
Holden Glova

Hi I’m new to Ruby.
I’ve noticed a Ruby Eclipse plugin on sourcefourge.
Does the beta show any promise? Anybody recommend it?

Hi Armin.
As a Java programmer and something of a Ruby Nuby, there are two
things I want from an editor/IDE. The first is a quick
test-code-refactor cycle, and the second is any sort of support for
being a lazy programmer 
As a Java during the day, Ruby at night, programmer… IDEA and Eclipse
basically make Java development and turnaround at least as quick as
most scripting languages. The test-code-fix-refactor cycle gets very
tight. Toss in wonderfully powerful refactoring tools and you have a
killer environment. I have seen an afternoon with either of them
convert hard core emacs and vi users on multiple occasions.
The goal of the FreeRIDE project is to bring this compatibility to Ruby.
Since its written in Ruby we get to use our own product during development.
I (and everyone else) wishes that we were farther along in FreeRIDE’s
development. But like all open source projects, FreeRIDE depends on its
volunteer developers and whatever time they have available. (If you want to
help out, let us know… hint, hint…).
Anyway, FreeRIDE does have a source explorer that lets you navigate your
code by module/class/method. The debugger works on Linux, and we need to
revisit the debugger on Windows. One of our main developers (Rich Kilmer) is
a Mac user and has FreeRIDE running on the OS X (I don’t know if he has the
debugger running on OS X).
All of that said, Ruby has ruined me for Java. I almost posted to a
Jakarta list earlier this week saying the whole project should be moved
to Ruby as it would alleviate a lot of technical issues. Go figure.
IDEA for Ruby… mmmm.
This is what happened to me a couple years ago. I had just discovered
IntelliJ IDEA and was feeling like I could finally be productive in Java,
then two months later I found Ruby! On the FreeRIDE project we have often
used IDEA as model for what we want in FreeRIDE.

What is the backup strategy on RubyForge?
It is nice to have a centralized source location, but if all the source
disappears this would be less fortunate…

Glad to know that it is working out for you. However, I do not have
this dll in my mswin version (one-click installer). How did you get
your mswin ?
And yes, I do see it under cygwin. So I guess I should try RDE under
cygwin and see how it goes …

A very good question. We do backups via an rsync every six hours with
the online service iBackup. You can read about this and other RubyForge
sysadmin details here:

I used the source fro readline from http://jarp.jin.gr.jp (it has
binaries for both mswin and mingw too) and compiled everything
myself.
And yes, I do see it under cygwin. So I guess I should try RDE under

I tried this and it works …
Anyway thanks again

This looks nice and affordable - perhaps I should get me such a backup
service…?
I was a bit concerned with the synhronization of a deleted file, but this
seems managable.
There is a good rsync article in german:
http://linuxwiki.de/rsync/SnapshotBackups#head-8546180a9f4c342f4ccbda0e5f5ea

Another concern is that the backup account password is stored locally so if
the equipment is stolen, you may worstcase also loose your backup if the
culprit deletes the data. But then you could have a service with the
password in-memory only.

Yup, it’s pretty nifty - the rsync thing works quite well.

Yup, both Rich and I have the backup service password on other machines.
