My method of choice is typically to have a 'staging' working directory checked out on the central dev server, in addition to personal working directories for each developer. That staging directory is then rsynced up to the production cluster when changes are made. This ensures two things:
1) since no one directly edits the stage working directory, it's impossible to push anything live that isn't checked into the repository (since that's the only way to get it to staging). 2) pushes to the production cluster are always from a consistent source; no way to push a partial version and get version conflicts. Basic routine looks like this: 1) developer makes changes and tests 2) developer commits 3) I update staging server 4) testing on staging server 5) tag release 6) push to production Obviously steps 1-4 happen a lot more frequently than 5-6, and 1-2 happen a lot more than 3-4 as well. cheers, barneyb On 9/14/05, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Curious how everyone is deploying code from an SCM tool like CVS.
