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 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

I''d like to get SwitchTower to checkout from different repositories per role? The db role checks out different stuff from the app role, etc. I don''t mind redefining SwitchTower::SCM::Subversion.checkout. But I''m not sure the best way to do it. How would that method parameterize the repository based on role? It''d be something like this: command =

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 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

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''ve been following some tutorials on how to get switchtower working on dreamhost. I got the setup to work just fine, but the rake deploy doesn''t work. I get the following error. any ideas? ---------------------------------------------- > rake deploy (in /home/.interim/i8ramin/work/yaram.com) loading configuration

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 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/.

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
