1. 测试环境:
   1. Web服务器的URL： DreamHost提供
     svn版本:1.4.2
   2. SVN服务器的URL: Google Code提供
   3. 测试机环境:
     系统:Ubuntu-7.10-amd64
     svn版本:1.4.4
     Vlad the Deployer版本号: 自编译版 1.2.0.1 (2008/7/1日取源码)

2. 使用方法:
   1) 安装Vlad the Deployer
      下载 Vlad the Deployer 源码
      git clone git://github.com/aussiegeek/vlad.git
      打包代码为gem文件
            gem build vlad.gemspec
        安装 Vlad the Deployer
            gem install vlad-1.2.0.1.gem -l

   2) 添加mod_rails支持
     在Rakefile中添加
      require 'vlad'
      Vlad.load :app => 'passenger'

   3) 修改配置
      配置文件为config/deploy.rb ，一个基本可以运行的deploy.rb修改
      set :domain,  "用户名@WEB服务器"
      set :deploy_to, "在WEB服务器上的位置，如 /home/username/web "
      set :repository, "SVN服务器"

      本例中使用的deploy.rb：
      set :svn_cmd, "svn --username 用户名 --password 密码"
      set :domain,  "***@www.***.com"
      set :deploy_to, "程序位置"
      set :repository, "Google svn地址"
   4) 服务器端配置:
      略


   5) 包含的Rake任务:
      rake vlad:cleanup  # Clean up old releases.
      rake vlad:debug  # Show the vlad setup.
      rake vlad:invoke  # Invoke a single command on every remote server.
      rake vlad:migrate  # Run the migrate rake task for the the app.
      rake vlad:rollback # Rolls back to a previous version and restarts.
      rake vlad:setup  # Setup your servers.
      rake vlad:setup_app # Prepares application servers for deployment.
      rake vlad:start  # (Re)Start the web and app servers
      rake vlad:start_app # Restart PassengerVlad.load :app => 'passenger'
      rake vlad:start_web # (Re)Start the web servers
      rake vlad:stop   # Stop the web and app servers
      rake vlad:stop_web # Stop the web servers
      rake vlad:update  # Updates your application server to the latest revision.

   例如：
        rake vlad:update vlad:migrate vlad:start_app
     该命令代表的含义为更新后，再进行migrate ,然后重新启动WEB服务器


3. 其它注意事项:
   1) 使用其它版本管理工具,例如git,需修改Rakefile
      require 'vlad'
      Vlad.load :scm => :git

   2) SVN需要用户名,密码
      在deploy.rb中设定Vlad the Deployer
      set :svn_cmd, "svn --username 用户名 --password 密码"

   3) 简化命令的使用
   vlad采用的是Rake命令,可进行如下简化等:
      rake vlad:update vlad:migrate vlad:start_app
      修改为
      task 'easyupdate'=> ['vlad:update', 'vlad:migrate','vlad:start_app']

      然后可以通过
            rake easyupdate
        来执行
            rake vlad:update vlad:migrate vlad:start_app
        命令

一直在用,挺好的.

不过也没有觉得比Capistrano简便多少,因为deploy脚本一般写好,基本都很少维护的.

Vlad the Deployer貌似比Capistrano简单，不知道最近发展的如何
