Rails - Apr 2006 - Capistrano adding shared files

I''m finding the :before_task and :after_task facilities in Capistrano 
very useful.

For example, I needed to add a shared directory to my system. All I had 
to do was add a few lines to deploy.rb:


desc "Add shared usr_img directory to shared"
task :after_setup do
  run <<-CMD
  mkdir -p -m 775 #{shared_path}/user_img
  CMD
end

desc "Link shared usr_img directory to public/usr_img"
task :after_update_code do
  run <<-CMD
  ln -nfs #{shared_path}/user_img #{release_path}/public/user_img
  CMD
end

Whee!
