Stuart, The only option is `:no_release => true` on the role/server declaration, but beware this does more than disable the clone/checkout - it also disables anything related to source code (think… database server)
If there's a real problem checking our your source from Git, you should perhaps look at the remote_cache strategy, which should reduce your checkout time. Or perhaps the murder gem from Twitter, which uses torrent to distribute the code (very fast.) between machines; and is already rather well integrated with Capistrano. An alternative would be to come up with your own deploy strategy (not that tough, take a look in the sources) - and use something like `:once`, (old thread here might help: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06388.html ) - to nominate just one server to do the checkout, then you can run whatever you need on the other machines to distribute the code. I'd dearly love to see a decent "checkout and share between servers" deployment strategy; but there's some good reasons why this doesn't exist in the defaults, so YMMV. - Lee On 15 August 2011 15:20, StuartM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have multiple roles in the deploy.rb file, however, I would like to > remove some roles from doing a git clone/pull (not sure which one it > does). > > The reason for this is due to it taking it quite a long time for 15+ > machines, so my intentions is to run the normal git clone/pull on a > single machine, then create a Debian package and distribute that > instead. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks > > Stuart > > -- > * You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Capistrano" group. > * To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > * To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] For more options, visit this group > at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano?hl=en -- * You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Capistrano" group. * To post to this group, send email to [email protected] * To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano?hl=en
