How do you organize your deployment enviroment

Hi,

I am having a django project that  is being frequently deployed on clean linux installation. After a few deployments I have noticed that this process is very time consuming for me (every time I am preparing run scripts for everything, configuring cronjobs, paths to log files, etc) but this could be easily automated.

What are a ready solutions to manage such deployments?

My typical workflow is:
1) install packages on debian/ubuntu via aptitude (like database, etc)
2) creating new virtualenv + getting pip
3) pip install -r requirements (to setup enviroment)
4) fetch django project from code repository
5) setup runtime dir (I keep there: run - for pid files, logs, conf - for some config variables or scritps, scripts - some starting srcipts)
6) setup crontab jobs 
7) setup webserver + django wsgi to be started 


Sure - I can write some custom made installer for that, but wondering if there is some generic tool for such things.

PS. I have heard about fabric, but didn't investigate this tool yet.
