Great stuff Joseph! I'm thinking a few tweaks and it would work without running 'install_rails_stack'. It would be great to decouple things so shorter recipes can install just what you want.
Something along the lines of the following might work: require 'deprec/recipes' require 'vmbuilder_plugins/all' # Neil Wilson released a gem containing 'gem', 'apt' and 'std' libs # Deprec packages them but will soon simple require this gem. task :install_php do <Josephs code her<http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=249&page=1#Item_5> e <http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=249&page=1#Item_5>> end task :install_php_and_apache do install_apache install_php end - Mike On 4/23/07, Joseph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Appears my last missive didn't go through, so here it is again.
