New staging/live system
Posted on 2003-04-15 17:10:22 CEST.
There is a new, alternative staging/live script for Aegir setups.
Aegir CMS and Nadmin Studio have been shipping with a replication-based staging/live system. The main idea in this concept is to work on the site on a "preview server", and then replicate changes to the live server only after they've been approved.
Original Nadmin Studio used a perl script for telling repligard not to replicate unapproved objects. However, this has proven to work unreliably.
To cure these problems, Eero af Heurlin from Nemein is now developing a new, YAMP-based staging/live system.
The new remove_unapproved.pl script can be downloaded for testing from contrib in Midgard CVS. The script has passed smoketesting, but more testing help would be appreciated.
Try it out and send your experiences to the user mailing list. More information on setting up staging/live can be found from Aegir installation guide
