# The application name. Pretty arbitrary, doesn't affect anything I think
set :application,     $config["application"]
# Where is the repository held? Depends on your application
set :repository,      $config["repository"]
# Deploy as this username
set :user,            $config["remoteusername"]
# Do NOT use sudo by default. Helps with file permissions. You can still
# manually sudo by prepending #{sudo} to run commands
set :use_sudo,        false

# SCM Settings
# Use git to deploy. You can also set this to 'svn'
set :scm,             :git
# Only deploy the master branch
set :branch,          "master"
# Keep Git quiet
set :scm_verbose,     false

## Deploy Settings
# Deploy via a remote repository cache. In git's case, it 
# does a "git fetch" on the remote cache before moving it into place
set :deploy_via,      :remote_cache
# Overriding my 'current' directory to public, as that's how I roll
set :current_dir,     "public"

## Deploy Specific settings
# The folder holding all of my CakePHP core stuff,
# like plugins and the individual cores
set :cake_folder,     $config["cake_folder"]
# Folder name of the specific cakephp version I want to use.
# This is a raw checkout straight from github
# Assumes you have this folder in the :cake_folder directory
set :cake_version,    $config["cake_version"]
# The plugin directory (relative to :cake_folder) to be deployed
set :plugin_dir,      $config["plugin_dir"]

## SSH Options
# Deploy as this username
set :ssh_options,     :username => $config["remoteusername"]
# SSH Agent forwarding, sends my personal keys for usage by git when deploying.
set :ssh_options,     :forward_agent => true

## Available Environments

## Deployment tasks
namespace :deploy do
  task :start do
  end

  task :stop do
  end

  desc "Override the original :restart"
  task :restart, :roles => :app do
    # after "deploy:restart", "misc:clear_cache"
  end

  desc "Override the original :migrate"
  task :migrate do
  end

  desc <<-DESC
    Symlinks shared configuration and directories into the latest release
    Also clear persistent and model cache and sessions and symlink for usability.
  DESC
  task :finalize_update do
    before "deploy:symlink", "link:core", "link:plugins", "link:config", "link:tmp", "misc:submodule"
  end

  desc <<-DESC
    Copies over the latest release. Necessary unless we place the cake core inside releases
    For larger repositories, something different should be tried instead
  DESC
  task :symlink do
    run "rm -rf #{deploy_to}/#{current_dir} && cp -rf #{latest_release} #{deploy_to}/#{current_dir}"
  end

end

## Link tasks
namespace :link do
  desc <<-DESC
    Link the CakePHP Core
    You may need to change this to a 'cp -rf' instead of 'ln -s' depending upon your shell requirements
  DESC

  desc "Link the CakePHP Plugins for this repository"
  task :plugins do
    run "rm -rf #{deploy_to}/plugins && cp -rf #{cake_folder}/#{plugin_dir} #{deploy_to}/plugins"
  end

  desc <<-DESC
    Link the configuration files
    May fail if you are not using the asset_compress plugin
  DESC
  task :config do
