John, Thanks for confirming rsync. I got the symlink working right away. I'm going to like this, because it allows me to upgrade TCFs in a new directory, but keep using an older version for some sites until I'm ready to update.
I also like the disallow approach on the config directory, since then I can keep config files with the rest of the site to simplify my rsync script. thx. bill ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "John McGowan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:58:33 -0600 Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: parametric specification of instance variables > On 1/19/07, William M Conlon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > good idea.
