Totally agree, and we would do that if we were using 100% Ruby - however, we have several NodeJS apps (and some Django) in the mix as well, so creating a deb/rpm/tar.gz and bundling them all together gives us the flexibility to deploy the entire codebase (in one package) to every machine in our architecture regardless of it's role. As a result, everything is the same apart from what we decide to execute on each machine. -- * 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
