Same with my experience. I could never get Capistrano to work. I blame the never updated documentation that also missing important details here and there so often. Reading the doc is like walking in the woods. In the end I switched to Mina, and finally everything works.

I've used Rake and Fabric for somewhat similar (but less ambitious) stuff in the past and I'm thinking that Fabric might be a pretty good fit for this task as well, but I'd still like your input. Are there other tools I should look into?
