[Zope] devel/production syncronization

[Andy McKay]

Nope and there ways around it, one is try a transparent folders. If
everything is in one folder, move what you want to update into a transparent
folder. Then export that folder, it gives you a grouping mechanism.

One other hack I did was have a list of the things im exporting up
somewhere, and ran a script that exported all the items in that list and
then reimported them.

A cool peice of software that does none of the above but helps you sync
Zopes is http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/Client_Server.

HTH.
