;-) trouble...moi.... ;-) We use VSS which granted is not web project friendly.... normally the way we do this is to have a production say a root branch, a test branch, a UAT branch and a production branch - the root branch should always contain all fixes / code which exist on all other branches but will also contain new fixes / code which has not been propogated upwards. Any fixes changes we make to say the production branch will still have to be coded down to the root branch (and to all others). We can of course label (i.e. milestone a build).
Mind you, this way of working was inherited from an old system and may not necessarily be the best way as we do not have such a granular way of working. When I convince the big wigs to go over to FC fully then we will adopt a more milstone CVS type system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Bowers Sent: 05 July 2005 00:44 To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: FarCry 2.3.2 Released Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) wrote: > But surely the root/trunk or whatever you want to call it must contain the > latest fixes etc..? it should be as the latest milestone but with new > Glamour gladrags on...? Production environments should only be running code from a maintenance branch (for example, branch p230 for FarCry v2.3) or a specific milestone build. A maintenance branch will have all the latest fixes for that version. A milestone release is just a snapshot in time of a specific branch. The very latest code generally does include all fixes -- where relevant. However, the latest code is untested and although relatively stable it shouldn't be relied on for production environments. Pulling the HEAD of the CVS trunk is just going to get you into lots of trouble -- unless of course you are looking for trouble ;) -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Oriel House, 26 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DL, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.
