The migrate task is only called automatically from deploy:cold, and deploy:migrations. The standard deploy task does not run the migrations, and should not require the db role to be set. Also, aside from deploy:migrate, the only other really rails-centric task is deploy:finalize_update. Thus, if you want to use the existing recipes and simply override the rails-isms, you should just be able to redefine deploy:migrate and deploy:finalize_update.

As I described in a previous thread today, I was able to stub out a
"fake" SCM so I could do deployments from a plain directory to a
server. Things got all choked up on my lack of definition of the :db
role. I found some more details on the how & why in this thread [1].

It appears the standard recipes are *very* rails-centric. Since I
don't have a db role defined (necessary for the +migrate+ task to
complete which is called by... most of the other tasks), I would like
to write my own recipe to eliminate some of these rails-isms.

I can see how to do it. What I'm unsure of is where these custom
recipes ought to live. Do they go in /etc/capistrano.conf, ~/.caprc
or somewhere else? Is there a guide somewhere? (I've googled to
little avail, so pointers are welcome!)

I'm also interested in creating a recipe or two for merb deployment
which I will "give back" to the capistrano community. If anyone wants
to help with that, drop me a line.

PS - anyone who wants the code for my fake SCM can feel free to drop
me an email. Maybe I'll even submit it as a "patch" though it's
unlikely Jamis will accept it. :-)
