Lee - I have opened a ticket (#80) per your suggestion for the first issue.
I want to ask the community about the second question I raised. Particularly about how to create a separate file for deploying/ updating shared part of the application. How would you invoke the tasks specified in a separate file e.g. deploy_shared.rb? Thanks for any thoughts/pointers. -S On Apr 27, 3:58 am, Peter Booth <[email protected]> wrote: > When I had a similar issue (project/public contained large media files > that changed less often than the rails app) I defined a second "dummy > project" that just contained the shares media files.
