similar to: SwitchTower with multiple repositories

I did an svn up this morning and discovered this whole new bundle of code! Lookingn through it it looks cool, but there''s no CVS support for an SCM - I''d have thought this would be more widely used than darcs. Looking at the code for subversion.rb and I thought it''d be possible to add a new scm - CVS. I''m running into 3 problems: 1- I''m still

For those who want use switchtower to deploy to a remote server that does not have access to the main subversion repository, here is a task I just hacked up to use switchtower to deploy to my servers by copying a local directory to the servers, rather than have the servers use svn checkout. I actually create my local directory using an svn export, but you can do whatever you like here, and just

I use Switchtower to deploy my Ruby on Rails application, which works great. However, it appears to be doing a SVN checkout, which includes all the .svn directories as well. I would rather do an export from SVN. Is it possible to configure Switchtower to do this, or can I extend it in the deploy.rb? I haven''t been able to find any examples on the internet so far. thanks, Jeroen

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

I tried using ST, but it didn''t work with the csh shell. Today I decided to make it work, and came up with the very simple solution of wrapping the failed commands inside a bash instance.

Hi everyone, What are other people doing with regards to database.yml being in version control? My dilema: I set up my rails app in svn using these instructions: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseRailsWithSubversion The part to note is where I ignore database.yml, allowing different developers to keep their own database.yml without clobbering other developers'' files.

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost.

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to get switchtower to work with CVS. I see "querying latest revision..." and then it states "[update_code] transaction: rollback" I''m open to any and all suggestions at this point. I put some logging statements in the switchtower code and it seems to fail at this statement in switchtower-0.10.0/lib/switchtower/scm/cvs.rb @latest_revision =

I got problems running switchtower 0.10.0 when I try to run "rake deploy" from my local box (windows) to my shared hosting If I set the repository to (deploy.rb): set :repository, "file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk" My local box (windows) can''t reach the subversion repository located in site5 If I set the repository to: set :repository,

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

I''m trying to set up switchtower, following the info in the Manual, but am getting this error when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup": servers: ["cantona.dnswatchdog.com"] /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.3/lib/net/ssh/transport/packet-stream.rb:203:in `sysread'': bignum too big to convert into `long'' (RangeError) from

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

Hi all, I''m wondering if "rake freeze_gems" will freeze SwitchTower as well. If it doesn''t, I could try to modify the rake task at [1] to freeze extra gems such as switchtower into vendor/ (the rake task at [1] freezes gems into lib/ which I disagree with). Is there anyone else actually using a "frozen" SwitchTower? If so, what did you do to freeze it with a

Finally getting my app up and running with Switchtower. I am also using file_column in my project. By default, it creates a directory for each model under ''public'' and goes from there. I have users adding files in my production application and those files they added aren''t managed under SVN as they aren''t part of the app, they are added content. Plus, since

When I define :db to be a different server than either :web or :app, and run "rake deploy". Switchtower will abort with an Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed error. The version of Switchtower I''m using is 1.0.0 and the deploy task is the default supplied with Switchtowe. However, I dont have any problem when :db is changed to the same as :web and :app. -------------- next part

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port. Where should that be configured ? I can't see anything in switchtower.rake, nor can I see it in the source. If this already exists, can anybody point me to documentation. If not, can I get any
