Hi Terry,

That's really useful, thanks. The main problem for me is that configuration is 
so entwined with both the Maven build and the Ant installation, it makes it 
difficult to find a process that avoids having to do a Maven build on a live 
server, and hack various bits of configuration specific to that server. Sigh [😊]


Cheers, Robin.

Robin,

I have been happy with the process that has evolved for us over time.

Since our repository code is private, we have cloned our github repository on 
our server using an access token.

We have a build folder on each of our servers.  That folder contains a script 
that runs the following steps.

git fetch origin
git checkout ${BRANCH} -f
git pull
mvn clean package
cd dspace/target/dspace-build
ant update
#insert domain specific passwords/overrides into config files using sed
#restart webserver

When "build.properties"  was first introduced, it did not allow us to override 
what we needed to override.  I have not revisited that file to see if it could 
further simplify our build process.

Hi all,

I notice there was a brief discussion about DSpace deployment methods yesterday 
in the developer meeting. I would be very interested to hear what others do, 
what sort of tools they use, what sort of infrastructure they have etc. If 
anyone is willing to share please do reply. For our part we are still stuck in 
a world of 'scp' and shell scripts, so could benefit greatly from a bit of 
modernisation :)

Many thanks, Robin.
