Re: [Fab-user] accept single callable or name in provided_by require's argument

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Akira,

Just made a ticket for this:

    http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/107

Thanks again for the contribution :) I've slotted it for 1.0 for now,
but since it's not *really* that backwards incompatible, it may find
itself in 0.9 when I get around to combing the 1.0 stuff for
backportability.

Best,
Jeff
