Hello Zopistas...
Please excuse the repost if it happens... sent question yesterday, and it did not make it to list..
Anyway, I have a productive zope application, one server. I have a backup (considering to use it as developement) machine, that I want to keep up-to-date.
Before I go do something stupid, what is the listers expiriences developement/productin environments? How do you all do this? what procedures do you use?
We have a prod server and a dev server. Through-the-web code is moved from dev to prod with ZSyncer (zsyncer.sf.net). This is convenient and easy but it's no substitute for a proper source management system. More and more of our through-the-web code is being moved to the filesystem. e.g. CMF skins are easy, just make a filesystem directory view, grab the source of the through-the-web code via ftp or webdav and put it in the FSDV. You might read this article by Chris McDonough which suggests some possible best practices: http://plope.com/Members/chrism/zope_collab
Jerry P.S. I already got burned by the zope versioning system once, so I would like to avoid it.
