I spent some time getting PowerDNS on Rails to run on Ruby 1.9.1, which ended up being very easy due to the small amount of plugins & gems used by the project. The only change I had to make myself was to the acts_as_audited plugin, where the one-line...

I hit a barrier last night where my virtual machine I use for Rails development ran out of space. I quickly checked around and saw my current Rails project had 800MB in log files (thanks autospec).

So I decided to quickly cook up this little bash...

• Rails 2.1 @ github
