Copy and pray. 🙂 More seriously, you don’t need subversion to run rails. And - you need to be a lot more specific and provide more detail if you plan to get a real answer from this list. Any more details you can provide? - Scott B. ---

Scott, I actually asked the same question in this post: [http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano/browse\_thread/thread/9900f3514c0bd75e/d79974bd97cb465e?lnk=gst&q=wolfman&rnum=4#d79974bd97cb465e](http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano/browse_thread/thread/9900f3514c0bd75e/d79974bd97cb465e?lnk=gst&q=wolfman&rnum=4#d79974bd97cb465e) . . .but it appears that “wolf” is making some headway in that arena, here: [http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2007/02/18/updated-capistrano-local-subversion-and-perforce](http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2007/02/18/updated-capistrano-local-subversion-and-perforce) Regards, Michael ---

One clarifying question, Sean: why can’t you deploy your app without SVN? SVN is a source version control system. I use it, but I can just as easily deploy by zipping up the rails directory and dropping it into place on my web server.
