Rake package needs updating

[Marko Poutiainen]

Binary package hint: rake

Rake version available in Ubuntu (0.8.1) includes fatal bugs that prevent using it for some applications such as Gitorious install.

When installing Gitorious with this version, the following error is reported:

** Execute db:schema:dump
rake aborted!
undefined method `reenable' for <Rake::Task db:schema:dump => [environment]>:Rake::Task
/var/www/gitorious/vendor/rails/railties/lib/tasks/databases.rake:253

This should be fixed with newer versions according to Gitorious developers.

Package info:

rake:
  Installed: 0.8.1-3
  Candidate: 0.8.1-3
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.1-3 0

Hi, and thank you for your report. However, there is a newer version of rake in karmik:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/rake

Did you try to install this one? Does it fix the error?

[Marko Poutiainen (makistos)]

Yep, 0.8.4 version from Karmic fixed the problem.
