I am programming in a somewhat common security setup where the
development network is not connected to outside networks. There are
only two ways to copy deployments to test and production: removable
media and a copy script using a Linux server that pushes files from dev
to production or production to dev.
We developers would like to make our weekly deployments by simply having
the production machines svn checkout and svn update from our svn release
branch. However, technically minded upper managers see such a network
setup as too insecure. The developers are interested in saving time as
our weekly deployments span 25 to 50 files per week across several web
applications.
Is the time savings worth the security risk?
