My impressions of cargo is that it is supposed to be pretty container agnostic. You mostly point it at a host, with username, password, etc, and it'll deploy the app for you. This would be pretty nice, since you wouldn't have to worry about the implementation details of where webapps should live. Additionally, you could use it to build wars on one machine, and deploy them remotely without much trouble. So if the issue that there isn't a command line interface, perhaps it is worth writing? Also, we could probably write a generic ant script, and provide a scripted frontend for it to make it dynamic. -- Joshua Nichols Gentoo/Java Project Lead -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
