took me a while to get this deployed on nodejitsu as I had to get the right versions of packages, as normal npm installs include a package that breaks the app, I was unable to determine what it was, but it was one of the guys required in server.js.

You have to create the app before doing any env set to jitsu:

jitsu apps create myapp

Does the fact that Meteor just came out with a new version make any difference? The Heroku buildpack isn't working anymore, so I'm thinking about switching to NodeJitsu...

Doesn't work anymore due to this bug: laverdet/node-fibers#94
