Hi,

I am trying ot Capistrano to deploy my ruby app. It seems that  
Capistrano tries to load the source code from the remote server (the  
one I want to deploy to) via svn. Unfortunately this is not possible  
in my setup. Instead the source code has to be pushed to the remote  
server. How can I achieve that?

Thanks,  
Stefan

You’ll need to write a new task.

Capistrano has recently added a ‘put’ command. It should be possible  
to, for example, use rake to make a big .tar.gz of your app and then use  
cap to put it onto the server and unzip it ?
