Hello everybody,  
I’m trying to include capistrano support into RoR application, as  
descripbed in the 2nd version of the Agile Rails book. But after  
invoking the command :

# rake remote:cold\_deploy

I’ve received the message “Capistrano/Rake integration is  
deprecated”: ##################################  
rake remote:cold\_deploy (in /var/www/ruby/demo) Capistrano/Rake  
integration is deprecated. Please invoke the ‘cap’ command directly:

Why capistrano is deprecated? What does it mean? How to fix?  
Thanks in advance.

It is just the capistrano/rake integration that is deprecated. You  
need to invoke capistrano directly:

#cap cold\_deploy

The error you are getting when the command actually executes looks  
more to do with your svn configuration. I’d be checking  
your :repository setting in config/deploy.
