Both. If you are using the default deployment strategy, Capistrano will need to connect to the repo from the local machine to determine the current revision, and then from the remote machines to do the checkout. You can use a different strategy, like copy, to only require repository access from the local host (checkout to the localhost, and then sftp the file to the remote hosts). > I tried removing the port from the repository string and got a "can't > connect to port 22" error. Hmm. Could be that svn doesn't honor the ssh config, but that would be odd. :( - Jamis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
