As I have things set up (which is NOT in the context of a production
server), the basex directory looks like:
BaseX.jar CHANGELOG* etc/ LICENSE* repo/ webapp/
bin/ data@ lib/ readme.txt src/
BaseX is completely fine with data/ being a symlink.
So I'd be installing full latest, customizing/testing full latest, and
then doing stop-the-11.1-server, symlinking the production data dir into
the latest install directory structure, and starting the lastest server.
My usual setup puts the actual data/ dir one level up from the
full-install location, so a sibling of the BaseX versions. I've never
tried anything clever like putting the data/ dir on a NAS or another
file system so can't speak to those cases. (Though I would expect that
symlinking from more than one running BaseX instance would be entirely
unwise.)
("Fine with symlinks" works with lib/custom, too.)
