Hi,

I’m trying to use capistrano(capistrano-2.1.0) deployment on my  
application.

Here is deploy.rb

set :application, “cook”  
set :repository, “svn+ssh://192.168.0.204/home/suja/mysvn”

# If you aren’t deploying to /u/apps/#{application} on the target

# servers (which is the default), you can specify the actual location

# via the :deploy\_to variable:

# set :deploy\_to, “/var/www/#{application}”

set :deploy\_to, “/home/suja/test”

# If you aren’t using Subversion to manage your source code, specify

# your SCM below:

# set :scm, :subversion

role :app, “192.168.0.204”  
role :web, “192.168.0.204”  
role :db, “192.168.0.204”, :primary =\> true

When doing “cap deploy”.I will get runtime error

Looks like you’ve got an older version of subversion installed. You  
need a newer version, which understands the “-r” switch for the info  
command; I don’t know precisely which version introduced that, but  
you’ll be fine if you just upgrade subversion to the latest.
