Do subdirectories of "releases" have to have timestamps as names or not? about capistrano HOT 1 CLOSED

The following entry appears in CHANGELOG under 2.5.0 / August 28, 2008:

I'm sure many things have changed, that change log entry was written before my stewardship. I'll happily consider a patch with the suitable options set (there is no one-size fits all here) … in the short term you can override the :releases

_cset(:releases) { capture("ls -x #{releases_path}", :except => { :no_release => true }).split.sort }

The file, for reference can be found here. If your note is especially about the changelog, then I refer you to the issue #88 which prompted the change. I wasn't aware that it had been explicitly, documentedly changed to ls -xt before my time. (And, as you may know the standard deploy.rb lacks tests)

• The Issue where this came up, #88 from lighthouse

from capistrano.
