Thanks Geoff, Basically I am being lazy, in that I wanted a simple .zip installation to be easy applied! :-)

We endeavour to provide as simple a migration as possible -- we have a lot of apps running on older builds and simple updates to schemas and the like are crucial to keeping our workload down. The content type management stuff is particularly cool -- we've upgraded to include ALTER type as well as add/delete properties. Well worth looking into (ADMIN>>COAPI>>Types). It may be simple for us to do a roll-up updater that just has all the updaters linked from one page for each major release. Check the existing updaters to see what i mean. When Brendan releases a new build to farcry.daemon website (eg. the current beta release) it means its running on about 5 sites in production and is usually very stable. Typically we only label a build in CVS if it is generally accepted amongst drivers that the build will not break developers apps -- we try and work to a policy of *never* checking in breaking code full stop, but none of us are perfect :) We've frozen "official" releases 'cos we know there are currently "known issues" and/or obvious gaps in the functionality we've added. When the functionality is completed, tested and ready for "content authors" we'll release another "official" build. I think people on this list should consider BETA releases as stable enough for development but not appropriate for "content authors". Best regards, -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ PS.
