README

Name:
  don't really have a good one yet, so took the reverse of cap..

Running:
  I usually have my ssh-keys added during a coding session. Among them
are ones for my git repositories and one for my production server. To
add yours simply:

  ssh-add ~/.ssh/gitrepo
  ssh-add ~/.ssh/production

  If you do this before you hop into SCREEN you'll be able to close/open
as many shells as you want without having to retype your password.

  Now you may run pac.

Options:
  generate
    -- can be ran multiple times to modify the yaml file from a guided
    script

  install
    -- can either accept from commandline what host to install from or
    choose from list; can modify values on the fly depending on which
    host you've chosen; searches for dependencies and auto-installs
    them; should be smart enough to grab the right depedencies for 
    certain things

  upgrade
    -- can accept syntax like 'upgrade bluffweb' to do a git diff and
    grab the latest code

  restart
    -- can accept syntax like 'restart mysql' or 'restart bluffparse'

Assumptions:
  * all ssh-keys have been added in your path, which I do before I start
    up a screen session; if not we should eventually be able to point
    various keys to whatever project/server and allow it to be smart enough
    to where you only have to type in your password once instead of 20 times

  * if you get an error such as 
    "ion.rb:199:in `method_missing': undefined method `exec!' for #<Net::SSH::Session:0xb792a53"

    install libopenssl-ruby (you should already have
    this but since this is an auto-provisioning utility you might not)
    you'll also need the gem (net-ssh) version: 2.0.1 of this writing..

  * you need amazon-ec2 gem  sudo gem install amazon-ec2

Cucumber Stories/TODO/etc..:

  * easy easy easy auto-provisioining of deployments

  * capistrano sucks ass so much!

  * should have a DSL for doing quick tasks in the shell?

  * should be able to pull multiple projects into a deployment
    (java app && merb app)

  * should be able to do extensive conf editing, etc. each time

  * should not have to type in the password every time for something as simple
    as restarting a server

  * upgrade should upgrade all code from your repositories by default unless
    you specify only repository to upgrade

  * should auto-generate a recipe for you based on various questions

  * also should have the ability to modify this recipe later on

  * basically we are looking at zero-conf editing

  * should support individual keys and/or passwords for each repo you add

  * should try to use ssh-agent logins already available in your environment..
