Capazon 0.2.0 is out. There’s only one new feature: support for Capistrano 2.0. There’s no backwards compatibility. If you’re still on Capistrano 1.4.x, please don’t upgrade. It won’t work.

To update Capazon:

• gem install capazon

Changes

Capistrano 2.0 has support for Rake-like namespaces, so I’ve moved all tasks provided by Capazon to the ec2 namespace:

\$ cap ec2:describe_images
\* executing \`ec2:describe_images'
IMAGE ami-0386636a
rbuilder-online/nuxleus-1.3-x86_9327.img.manifest.xml 099034111737
available true
IMAGE ami-0683666f
rbuilder-online/fedoracore6-1.0-x86_9677.img.manifest.xml 099034111737
available true
\[...\]

To call these tasks from another namespace in a Capistrano recipe:

namespace :whatever do
task :something_cool do
\[...\]
ec2.describe_images
\[...\]
end
end

Capistrano 2.0

Turns out updating extensions to work w/ Capistrano 2.0 is extremely easy. Just replace blocks like this:

Capistrano.configuration(:must_exist).load do
task :take_over_the _world do
\[...\]
end
end

…with this:

Capistrano::Configuration.instance.load do do
task :take_over_the _world do
\[...\]
end
end
