[Xerte-dev] Re: Auto updater? Backup? Restore?

Wed Jul 3 20:08:17 BST 2013

Yeah Tom and its great. I use it often...

How easy was it to setup? Can a similar thing be done so that we get semi-regular releases with the next release being incremental from the previous? And could a manifest of changes be created (in xml say) that would list the added, deleted unchanged files?

Would automating these things potentially break peoples installs? I want to make it easy to setup and patch often but not so easy to shut down someone's server... We could do a kind of rollback i suppose...

There is an automatic build of an update .zip with all the patches since
the release. That is far as we got.
