I love JavaScript compression and I try to use Julien Lecomte’s YUI Compressor as much as I can. Unfortunately, compressing every file manually on each deployment, or at each update is a hard habit to get into, and it’s also extremely boring. Now that I have implemented automated deployments using Fabric, I decided to automatically minify all my JavaScript files before each deployment as well.
I used Capistrano before to automate my deployments, but something about using a Ruby application to deploy Django projects feels awfully wrong. So I was happy to see Fabric emerge as an alternative, and I finally put it to good use while deploying this blog.
