How do I override the existing recipes? They aren't part of a class that I can see so I don't see an easy override. Does the syntax allow me to reopen a :namespace and redefine an existing task?
Also, where should these customizations be stored if I want to use them for multiple projects? Do they go in /etc/capistrano.conf, ~/.caprc, etc? Sorry for the newbie questions but it's hard to read through a few thousand lines of code and grok it all in an afternoon! A pointer to a blog or doc that gives some of the basics on how to extend capistrano would be great.
