Hi guys,

I posed this question to the fellows at NYZUG yesterday evening, and =
they suggested that I post it here, point blank.

We want to use version control on our site. Without sparking a religious =
war, what do you recommend for syncing a development environment, a =
quality assurance environment, and a production environment? Is the =
built-in Zope Version package enough? Should we use that in conjunction =
with ZEO? Is ZEO on its own enough? Should we use CVS for Product =
maintainance? ZSyncer?=20

Initially, I thought the Zope Version would be enough, do your work in a =
version, have the tester start working in the version when the developer =
was done, and then the tester saves the work when everything is good to =
go. I've been told (by non-Zopistas, and even anti-Zopers) that we need =
to have three environments. How would you go about implementing a system =
to please nervous project managers?

cheers,
ken
