It's become obvious that I need some kind of a development system that's organized. I always seem to be working on a few projects at once, and it's getting ridiculous. How do you guys work on an IC site? How do you deal with things like backups, local storage of files, workflow, etc? I was going to set something up myself based on my experience, but I know most of the people on this list have been developing a lot longer than I have. What works for you? I was thinking it would be ideal to have two instances of IC installed, although I'm not sure if that's possible in my hosting setup. Two different catalogs at least. It would be great to have something that would allow me to edit a file locally and then FTP it to it's proper place with a click. The only files that are ever edited would be the files in the development store, and then after a batch of changes to the dev store are fully tested, they could be ported over to the live store. Also, each editing "session" (maybe a session would be an entire day) would be logged with my notes on the changes that were made.
Hy Grant,Im working on my Development Server, logging each session per File with RCS (http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html), and after testing all
gets synced to the Production-Server via UNISON (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/). Before Unison i used rsync to do the job, but Unison is more a real Syncroniser, with detection of Conflicts, a nice gui and much more.. I forgot to say ,all this on Freebsd and Debian but i think Unison even runs on Windows. bye Alex -- AXON-E interaktive medien _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
