Vlad the Deployer is pragmatic application deployment automation, without mercy. Much like Capistrano, but with 1/10th the complexity. Vlad integrates seamlessly with Rake, and uses familiar and standard tools like ssh and rsync.

Impale your application on the heartless spike of the Deployer.

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Full deployment automation stack. * Turnkey deployment for mongrel+apache+svn. * Supports single server deployment with just 3 variables defined. * Built on rake. Easy. Engine is small. * Very few dependencies. All simple. * Uses ssh with your ssh settings already in place. * Uses rsync for efficient transfers. * Run remote commands on one or more servers. * Mix and match local and remote tasks. * Compatible with all of your tab completion shell script rake-tastic goodness. * Ships with tests that actually pass in 0.028 seconds! * Does NOT support Windows right now (we think). Coming soon in 1.2.

Changes:

## 1.1.0 / 2007-09-12

* 3 major enhancements:    * Vlad.load now takes a hash of recipe overrides, eg: Vlad.load :web => :nginx.      See rdoc for defaults.    * Removed vlad_tasks.rb and split into vlad/apache.rb, vlad/mongrel.rb,      and vlad/core.rb.    * The flog ratio between capistrano+deps / vlad+deps is pi (or, damn close)! * 12 minor enhancements:    * Added $TRACE to make it more available and cleaner to read.    * Added :svn_cmd variable.    * Added Rake.clear_tasks *str_or_regexp    * Added debug and mana_from_heaven tasks to Rakefile.    * Added more documentation.    * Added :rsync_cmd and :rsync_flags.    * Added :ssh_cmd and :ssh_flags.    * Added variable expansion to vlad:debug task.    * Removed :scm variable. Now a Vlad.load component/flavor/need-a-word-here.    * Removed :application var. Use it if you want it. We don't require it.    * Renamed :p4cmd to :p4_cmd.    * Renamed :rake var to :rake_cmd. * 2 (important) bug fixes:    * HUGE: Fixed sudo hang bug #13072. Fix suggested by Chris Van Pelt.    * HUGE: Vlad.load calls user config last, allowing variable overrides.      ACK! Sorry!

Uh, crap, Mail.app was smoking crack, and decided to paste subject and body.

Sorry.
