Your statements assume the apps in multiple locations all belong to one client. If I had 3 clients who each required a shopping cart app (for instance), I doubt very much if they would want their system to be even partially located on server's outside their domains. In this case (which is common among software shops) one would need to copy the common code to each of the domains. Then, if a fix is done for one site (to the common code), then it is very likely that fix needs to be applied to the other sites as well. I don't see how FB helps with this situation any, nor makes it any worse. This issue would exist regardless of what architecture or methodology was implemented. But yes, I agree that there are tools available to synchronize remote folders which would make this issue easier to deal with.
<rant on The next comment is directed at GL. It's people like you who make a mailing list frustrating. I'm here to gather information, and stay current with the issues that affect my trade. To hear someone like you spout off that you are oh so superior because I don't do it like you makes me want to puke. You have a different way of doing the job - that's fine. But to hear you cut down people who don't do it your way is just stupid. Grow up. I've seen too many people - programmers, techs, or otherwise - with this attitude, and everyone of them runs into a situation where they are put in their spot. A little knowledge does not make you an expert. (And notice I did not even for a second attack your skills as a programmer? Isn't that how it's supposed to be done? A general discussion - not a bashing without cause.) </rant off> <snip> Roger Benningfield said: >(1) FB2 places no particular limits on the locations of your individual >fuses.
