You're pretty much correct, but the building/installing step is responsible for a lot more Cast code than the runit part is. When you run "create instance redis0" the high level steps are: 1. Create a new directory structure in which to install redis. 2. Copy all the redis files into a version-specific location in that structure. 3. Process any templates (for config files, etc) that were provided. 4. Create symlinks from the version-specific install location into a version-independent data root. 5. Create various symlinks for tracking the 'current' version, etc. 6. Create the runit script. I might be forgetting a step somewhere in there, but you get the idea. edit: fix list formatting
