Hi all,
Apologies for keeping this one running, but I'm still thinking about this subject. My gut feeling is that I don't want to run a Maven build on a live server, for two reasons... 1. Java has always claimed to be a 'Build once, run anywhere' language. So I want to build and test elsewhere, then deploy the tested app. 2. I instinctively don't like having development tools on a live server, it feels like a dodgy thing to do, although I would struggle to justify that statement. At the moment we only copy the target build directory to our live server, and then run 'ant update...' on the live server. But even that feels a bit hacky. At this point I should stop talking and read up on Tim's Commons Configuration work. Cheers.

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. - Tim On 8/17/2015 5:07 AM, TAYLOR Robin wrote: 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.

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.

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.
