[Capistrano] Re: ssh agent forwarding to svn box failing?

[Jamis Buck]

Capistrano merely uses the 'svn' commandline utility--which merely uses the ssh commandline utility. We use public keys all the time to access our svn repository. Note, however, that the Net::SSH library (which Capistrano uses) does not do ssh agent forwarding, though. If anyone has any understanding of how that works and wants to submit a patch, it would be a appreciated. For now, if you want to use public keys to access your svn repo, you need to have the keys on each machine that you will deploy to.

I always turn off password auth on our servers and use public key

I had to make our SVN server permit password auth before cap
could do an svn export.

Does capistrano support public key access to the SVN server or is
this a known problem?

thanks,
