Deploying with Subversion tags in Capistrano

This is a 0.1 deploy method :) I have tested this and we are using this version in production BUT its is not stupid proof…

In the ./config/deploy.rb

# Setup the repository with the TAG variable ()

tag = (ENV[”TAG”] || “”)

set :repository, “http://svn.mypostit.local/#{application}/tags/#{tag}”

set :repository, “http://svn.mypostit.local/#{application}/trunk” if tag.empty?

Now you can deploy with:

[deployer@heimdull ]# cap deploy TAG=’my_tag’

Wow is that easy.. If the TAG environment variable is empty then it will use the trunk for the repository or else it will use whatever you put in TAG.

I guess I should check if the tag exists before continuing … maybe 0.2 :)
