Hi,

I am using Capistrano to do a deploy to servers with different roles.  
I want call after\_deploy in the following manner.

task :after\_deploy, :roles =\> [:rolea] do  
run “task a”  
end

task :after\_deploy, :roles =\> [:roleb] do  
run “task b”  
end

The problem seems that the second after\_deploy clobbers the first even  
though they are meant for different roles. I do a workaround now by  
making role a use after\_symlink, but now I am adding a few more roles  
and I am running out of after\_\* to workaround. Is there a way to do the  
following

task :after\_deploy do  
if current\_server.role == :rolea  
run “task a”  
elsif current\_server.role == :roleb  
run “task b”  
end  
end

Thanks in advance for the help.

-Curtis
