Palmtree
Can still hardly believe it. I’m one of those people that might write some code, but never really expect anyone besides himself to use it.
As such I was recently shocked and amazed when I went back to Robby Russell’s article about Interactive Capistrano and when checking the pastie example saw at the very top
require "palmtree/recipes/mongrel_cluster"
mainly because palmtree is a small gem of capistrano recipes I put together when capistrano 2.0 was coming out and the previous sets of mongrel cluster recipes wouldn’t work.
I also included ferret, backgroundrb (old style, might still work though) and memcached recipes as well.
I mentioned this to my boss Chris earlier today and he sent me a link to a google search which shows more people using palmtree.
As of a couple weeks ago I replicated the project on github so others can hack at it if they want, but I think once I’ve reached the deployment stage of the current project I’m working on I’ll put some more work into it and brush up some of the recipes.
I also really need to get the tail recipes working properly as they’ve not worked for quite a while now.
