Hi Robin,
I am working to disentangle configuration from Maven & Ant builds in the
Commons Configuration work (aimed for 6.0). Once we switch to Commons
Configuration, we should be able to simply remove all our custom config
variable interpolation "magic" that Maven & Ant does. Commons
Configuration does interpolation on-the-fly, which means Maven and Ant
should no longer need to touch any of our configs (thought Ant will
still need a dspace.dir to install to obviously).
See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/991 and
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2654 for a bit more info.

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.
