Capistrano/rake integration is deprecated

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.
