new script to check if instance is in a certain role easily from bash scripts or command-line

Added a config file, /etc/ec2onrails/config.rb

ec2onrails_gem rake task deletes ignored files so that they don't get added to the manifest

moved contents of test/test_app/.gitignore into /.gitignore

removed some files that are ignored by git but can exist locally (and so get automatically added to the manifest)

Added Manifest and removed it from .gitignore because github needs it to build the gem.

Removed setup.rb that was added by Adam Greene because I can't figure out what it's for. It doesn't seem to be used and isn't documented.

run email signing task on all roles

Use <> for ERB format, it's safer than %.

fixed paths in the enable_ssl task comment

run rake gems:install on setup

removed a TODO comment, I understand now, it's not needed.

don't try to restore directories

Hopefully fixed this time. It didn't have the x bit set.

only print log messages if actually doing the backup or restore of a file

more work on the install_system_files task, and added upload_deploy_keys task to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of getting the app deployed the first time (need to have ssh deploy keys for the app's scm repo if deploying by checkout, but the server config files are contained inside the app.)

fixed /etc/hosts entries

trying to figure out why /var/run/mysql is still owned by root

added keep-alive settings to prevent timeout of long running tasks with no output behind certain routers

use lines beginning with "%" in the erb template, and construct the ERB object to allow that

check for existence of /mnt/app/current so there are no error emails if the app hasn't been deployed yet

improved format of system files manifest

changed slow queries time to minimum

resolve the hostnames in /etc/ec2onrails/roles.yml so the instance doesn't have to care when the external hostname changes (when Elastic IP changes)

Merge branch 'master' into experimental

Major new feature: system files that used to be deployed using the deploy_files Capistrano task are now deployed with the app (inside the config dir), and they are automatically removed when the next version of the app is deployed. This way they can be stored in the revision control system with the app (where they can be branched, tagged, etc., with the rails app's code), plus they can be cleanly uninstalled.

test app now allows KEY=xxx on command-line

added a todo comment

added gemspec that had been accidentally removed. It's auto-generated but needs to be checked-in so github will build the gem.

eliminate non-error output from s3_helper

fixed bug in role of mysql in db:enable_ebs. Role changed from db to db_primary

switch from aws/s3 to right_aws mostly because it automatically retries on failure

renamed backup_dir.rb to backup_dir to be consistent with other executable scripts not having the filename extension

Don't ignore errors when running mysql commands in db:start task. That had been done under the assumption that it was most likely failing because it had been already run but there are many reasons for it possibly failing, the most common seems to be mysql not started yet because it took longer than expected to start up.

increase the time we wait for mysql to start up

allow us to backup a directory; we have the database being backed up, but what about local files that are outside version control, like user's mugshots.

fixing a common crash when you try to run cap deploy:cold more than one time (like when getting a new server running and an error happens)

fixing the optimize task

updated to nginx 0.7.60

bringing the test app up-to-date

renamed sample ec2-key to a less confusing name

Updated test Rails app to Rails 2.3

removed two files that aren't used as far as I can tell

updated the README

create /root/.forward using sudo to fix permissions problem, and use > instead of >> so we don't append to it each time

Oops, forgot to return if the manifest doesn't exist
