[Capistrano] Re: New to Capistrano... Few fundamental questions

[Jamis Buck]

There's nothing stopping you from doing that, but you'll have to write your own custom capistrano tasks to make it happen. Capistrano, like Rails, is opinionated software, believing that there is generally one right way to do things, and various other not-quite- right ways. :) You can make the not-quite-right ways work, with effort, but life is much simpler if you just conform. Let yourself be assimilated! Resistance, as they say, is futile. ;)

Ok, this is good stuff.

Ok, what if I didn't really want to change my directory structure for
various reasons.  Is the "current" symlink etched in stone?  How hard
would it be to have capistrano make a symlink to another place
entirely?

For an example, let's say my deployment was currently to
/var/www/flippy, and I like it there.

Suppose I let capistrano have it's default deployment directory and it
put all the releases in /u/apps/flippy.  Could I remove my
/var/www/flippy directory and symlink /var/www/flippy to
/u/apps/flippy/current?  Or could there be issues doing that?

Thanks for being a sounding board.
