Hi all,

I have just decided to give Capistrano a try for deploying Rails apps  
after almost 2 years of rsync and shell scripts.

Some issues have cropped up, and I could not find solutions in the  
manual.

For the searching need of most apps I support, I use acts_as_ferret.  
This creates an index structure of the database tables in a directory  
called "index" in RAILS_ROOT. How can I move this to a location like  
"shared" so that it is not deployed along with the rest of the code?  
(Naturally the index directories on my local machine are NOT in svn.)

The same goes for directories under RAILS_ROOT/public which are  
destined for uploads (some through the excellent file_column plugin,  
others through a WYSIWYG web editor like FCKEditor).

Is there a way to specify that such directories should live in  
shared/ and be automatically symlinked?

I use this recipe (http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2006/05/26/ 
capistrano-local-deploy-recipe) for getting the code out of my local  
repository and to the server. Is there any other way? Not that It  
doesn't work, I am just curious. :-)

Many thanks in advance,
Nickolay
