Thanks Jamis. Disregarding a rails plugin for the moment, if I just
wanted to package some recipes in a file (elastic_rails.rb) and send
to a friend, where would he place this extension file - where he could
call it by simply adding 'require elastic_rails' in deploy.rb? I ask
because what I've read of capistrano extensions, it seems like they
are placing the recipe file somewhere where it is easy enough to
require with the simple 'require 'my_cap_extension'.
Thanks,
Steve
