package :postgres, :provides => :database do
  source 'http://example.com/postgres.tgz'
  requires :build_essential
  verify { has_executable 'psql' }
end

policy :blog, :roles => :app do
  requires :webserver
  requires :database
  requires :rails
end

deployment do
  delivery :vlad do
    script 'deploy'
  end

  # Specify installation options for certain installers.
  source do
    prefix    '/usr/local'
    archives  '/usr/local/sources'
    builds    '/usr/local/build'
  end
end
