Hey Ezra,
I really appreciate the offer. I'm afraid my ideas are still in
the vague/proof-of-concept/experimenting state, but right now
these are the things I know that I want to happen for Capistrano 2.0:
* Decouple the core from the standard recipes. This should slim
the core stuff down quite a bit.
* Decouple the deployment method from the SCM, so you can use any
SCM you want with any supported deployment method (e.g.
"checkout", "export", "copy", "rsync", etc.)
* Get serious about the tests. Right now they're admittedly
weaksauce. My testing-fu is quite challenged by the ssh
requirement. It'd be lovely to have a "mock server" that ships
with Net::SSH, which could be used to do testing with Net::SSH,
but that's a tall order.
I've also been toying with the idea of having a minimal DSL for
writing shell scripts, primarily so that capistrano's default
recipes can work with non-POSIX shells (like csh and tcsh). This
would have the happy side-effect of making it easier to write
simple conditionals in scripts; currently it requires shell-script-
fu as well as a knowledge of how capistrano is going to mangle the
script when it runs it.
So this part sounds pretty fun to me ;) Can you perhaps show me a few
examples of some DSL syntax you would like to see and what things
should be supported?
