Hi folks,
am new to fabric and to Linux in general.
I´m working with the sample provided in /doc/samples as of
commit cc336b5a8210e6b34082aeebef113b6e8d4431eb. (How do U reference git
'revisions' btw? : )

In the sample´s rollback() there is sth like:
sudo(
        "export PREV=$(ls -1 %(someProjectVar)s|tail -1);" +
...
)
..which sets the var $PREV for later use.

However, for me this isnt working - on my box(Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop) the var
$PREV will just be empty.
I even tried
run(
        "export FOO='bar';" +
        "echo $FOO;"
)
This will also result in an empty 'out:' when I run it from fab - when I run
this being logged in on the target machine with the same user, it´s working
fine.

Is there an alternative, how I could store eg. the most recent foldername in
a var for rolling back purposes?

Apologies, if this is off-topic & thx for any pointer!!
Carsten
