re: Subversion as a deployment tool

Martin — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:02:38 GMT

I also use subversion as a deployment tool to live sites (mainly pre-compiled Flash presentations/applications and PHP code). The staging and live sites are working copies and I update from a tagged online version. I love the efficiency of the process and the ease of use. Basically, every integrator in our office, junior and senior can update live sites without much worries (knowing that a rollback is just as easy).

I do admit that publishing to production with the added .svn folders isn't all that clean, but what's the cost of drive space versus the cost of inefficient processes?

Unfortunately for us, the person in charge of hosting architecture is bent on "compiling" the website when it comes to live deployment... I don't get it. Managing added files and folders is relatively easy, just a zipped package to upload. But what about renaming, deleting, and rolling back ? You'll have to script something to do the actual deletion and renaming... Subversion does that for you. You'll have to copy your entire site to be able to rollback ... ".svn" folders are probably lighter than a full duplicate all in all.

Is subversion a security threat? I just don't get it.

GWT is a great, standards based solution... Grails as well.

I agree with your requirements ideally, but any platform that requires browser plugins makes deployment harder, particularly to large businesses or organizations. I am more inclined to think that fundamental platform improvements across all the browsers are the real solution. Many significant steps in this direction including more consistent CSS and higher performance JavaScript environments across major browsers have made plugin-free HTML+CSS+JS web applications capable of delivering good user experiences. Some interesting developments like WebKit's client-side databases could significantly simplify the deployment of web apps with offline support if adopted in other major browsers.

I\'m supporting this idea all the way! I can not imagine who would disagree with it. On the whole - make posts like this more often.
