Brightbox Gem v0.24 2 Nov 07

I’ve just released a new version of the Brightbox Gem. It might takes a few hours to get to all the Rubyforge mirrors but in the mean time you can download and install it manually directly from the project page.

It’s largely just a maintenance release, which means no Capistrano v2.0 support just yet, it still requires Capistrano 1.4.1. Cap 2.0 support is in the works though and will be released soon.

A quick summary of the changes:

  • Fixes default Monit config bug (changes totalmem to mem, no more false memory overage alarms!)
  • Fails out if MySQL database exists on cold_deploy (you really shouldn’t be running a cold_deploy a second time anyway)
  • Adds reconfigure task (for easy adding of mongrels or domain changes)
  • Archives Apache configs on cold_deploy or reconfigure
  • Fixes Capistrano 1.4 dependency (will pull in v1.4.1 if necessary now)
  • Changes default Apache log location to /var/log/web (for new cold_deploys or reconfigures)

Remember that you need to upgrade the Brightbox gem both in your development environment and on your Brightbox.

The HOWTO on deploying your Rails app using the Brightbox is here as usual.
