Capistrano - clean up old releases

Question

Usually when using capistrano, I will go and manually delete old releases from a deployed application. I understand that you can run 'cap deploy:cleanup' but that still leaves 5 releases. Is this it's intended purpose? Is there another way to cleanup old releases to just 1 previous deploy?

Thanks,

Josh

You can use the :keep_releases variable to override the default of 5. Check this out.
