We use a separete lib directory containing versioned Zope Product directories. That's versioned as in the directory name reflects the version. These get symlinked into the actual Products directory. For example:
Advertising
lib/Foo-1.10.1 lib/Bar-2.2.3 lib/Bar-2.2.4 and in the Products directory a version of each Product is symlinked, usually the most recent: Products/Foo -> ../lib/Foo-1.10.1 Products/Bar -> ../lib/Bar-2.2.4 We of course keep our development code in a subversion repository, and tag releases with version numbers. Pushing out a new release then becomes a simple process: 1) Create a tarball from a repository export, with a versioned directory name $ svn export url://to.repository/Foo/tags/1.11.0 Foo-1.11.0 $ tar czvf Foo-1.11.0.tgz Foo-1.11.0 2) Copy the tarball to the server and extract it in the lib directory of the Zope server 3) Repoint the Products symlink: $ rm Foo && ln -s ../lib/Foo-1.11.0 Foo 4) Restart the Zope server It should be trivial to have someone with sysadmin experience do steps 2-4 for you. -- Martijn Pieters
