I get a lot of deprication messages when running rake

Question

One thing i did different from the rail port tutorial is changing the version of an installed library. I had this: gem install -v=2.3.14 rails

changed into this: gem install -v=3.1 rails

I also get a lot of these errors when running rake test.

It's not clear what you are trying to achieve. Rails 2.3 and Rails 3.1 are incompatible. The current code doesn't work on rails 3, and that's why the tutorial specifies the exact version of rails that's required. You should use that version.

There is work in progress to rewrite parts of the code in order to work with rails 3.1, but this is not yet complete. If you are interested in helping with the development, then see https://github.com/tomhughes/openstreetmap-website/tree/rails3 for the work so far.

This is just deprication warnings. You can change the code to not use the deprecated functions and send the patch in a bug report so that it can work on newer versions. Note that you might want to keep the code backwards compatible by not using new functions and/or branching on version.

$ rake gems:install
