I would argue that there may be some value from a production scenario perspective also. Yes, in the case where you have an experienced Sys Admin/DBA managing the upgrade of Mifos, they may want the control of not running the upgrades automatically. However, our software also needs to be supportable by users with less technical expertise and automatic upgrades may be useful for this type of user. I haven't thought through that completely, but I think it's a consideration in terms of whether we choose to have these in production or not. I definitely agree with Van for the developer/test scenarios. Absolutely necessary for those purposes :) Aliya ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
