Thank you for the suggestions, guys. I see how trading reliability for speed might be an issue, but since I'm not working on a cluster of servers with some critical commercial app, I think I'll risk :-).
Also, thanks for the idea about caching the bundled gems directory, but that seems overkilling. Still, it convinced me that using the default user directory (~/.rvm) is not such a great idea. I eventually used: set :bundle_dir, File.join(fetch(:shared_path), 'bundle') ...it installs everything in a shared folder that is used by any "current" release. I just tried to deploy the app three times (with minor modifications to a private view), and after the first execution of `bundle:install` the others are very fast (6-10 seconds). -- -- * 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.
