I have an old app that was setup using Capistrano 1.4. I upgraded to  
2.1 and remember having to use a specific command that would use the  
1.4 gem instead of 2.0, something like

cap deploy VERSION=1.4

or something. Does anyone know the exact command? 15 minutes in Google  
and I can’t find it, though I remember finding it via google before.

Any gem can be run as:

cap _1.4.1_ deploy

From my Mac with Leopard, the paths changed, too, so I run:

env PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH cap _1.4.1_ deploy

for one old client.
