Symlink for deploy is not linking the public and shared directory.

[Lei]

Hi,

The Symlink function in cap 2.0 is not linking the public and shared
directory.

on line 197 of /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-2.0.0/lib/
capistrano/recipes/deploy.rb

Are those links handled elsewhere?

Yes, the deploy:symlink task _only_ adds the current symlink. The
other symlinks are handled in deploy:finalize_update.

Oh, also, spinner is not there any more for the project that are generated by the latest rails.

  * executing `deploy:start'
  * executing "sh -c 'cd /home/lsun828/taogule.com/current && nohup script/spin'"

This returns an error, since there is no spin script. (I am trying to run "cap deploy:cold")

Yes, a spin script is the recommended way to "spin up" your app from a
cold start. Please read through
http://www.capify.org/getting-started/rails for more info on using
cap2 with a rails app. Hopefully that will clarify some of these
issues.

Hi,

FWIW, I got bored repeating myself, creating spin scripts which were
a duplication of what was already in my capistrano configuration, so
I now autogenerate them with:

http://svn.rubaidh.com/plugins/trunk/rubaidh_platform/recipes/rubaidh/
deploy/spinner.rb

It's not going to suit everyone, but it works well for me.

Cheers,

Graeme.
