For what it's worth, I'm running Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition on Debian Etch (with Ngnix, but Apache should be as easy), and haven't looked back since I switched from Mongrel Cluster. Installation (from source for REE, and as a gem for passenger) was a doddle, memory use is way down, problems are WAY WAY down. I looked at the issue of Debian package, but the updates are so easy and are relatively infrequent, that in the end I decided there was more work and attention needed by going down the package route than by subscribing to the feed (and updating manually). The only issue I had was with the path to ruby and Capistrano, but that was relatively easy to sort.

I would definitely recommend going down that route -- there was also zero downtime in the switchover.

Hope this helps

Apologies for this.

There's been an increase in traffic, and the slightly ropey
Apache/mongrel Rails deployment method I've been using broke.

I've patched it up a bit, but it still isn't great.

Am looking at Phusion Passenger, but there are disappointingly no
convenient Debian packages due to an argument over packaging.

Maybe the Ubuntu ones will recompile.

Hi,

WDTK seems to be extremely slow today - is there an issue that needs
be looked at or just due to regular maintenance or similar?

Best,
Michael
