The :setup_public_folder task seems awkward. Setting vars and calling
Cap tasks works, but is awkward. Capistrano tasks seem to break down
when they need to pass around a lot of variables, which is why the
Capistrano plugin system is built in.
So a better strategy would be to either monkeypatch Actor and call :copy_and_filter
as a normal method with arguments, or write it as a Capistrano plugin.
module Copier
def copy_and_filter(mode, src, dest, token, value)
# ...
end
end
Capistrano.plugin :copier, Copier
# copier.copy_and_filter(...)

The example of the :mongrel_configuration_setup task seems unnecessarily
complicated. The example uses "#{deploy_to}/#{shared_dir}", but the
built-in :shared_path variable already provides the full path to the
shared directory and could be used instead.
To see this, call this task in a Capistrano recipe:
desc "Show vars"
task :show_vars do
[shared_path, current_path].each do |var|
puts var
end
end
=> /u/apps/myapp.com/shared
=> /u/apps/myapp.com/current

The default value of :svn is said to be "/opt/local/bin/svn". This is incorrect.
The given path is mentioned as an example in the Capistrano documentation, but this
is not a default. The default is "svn" as seen on line 78 of scm/subversion.rb

The command references ssth-keygen, but there should be no 't'.
As a side note, why give instructions for copying ssh keys to a remote server?
This would be a great Capistrano task! (See also: deprec gem, which I contribute to).
