No I was not concerned about HD space, my view is simple. If it is not needed to have the Application run then it should not be there, whether there is plenty of space or not.
Let me ask you something, if you didn't know about SVN and you picked up a maintenance job and came across all these extra directories that shouldn't be there. Are you goiong to know which file is to be used? OR if these extra dirs and files actually ever get used? The point is that you might now what they mean, and why they are there. Bout put yourself into someone else's shoes and think about the confusion it would cause. Granted having them there is not an issue as such, but why create further headaches down the track? Not everyone has the ability to use a VPN automatically, so automating a script to export from SVN to production is not always going to be viable either. For example we have a client where we have to be authorised to connect to the VPN connection, once we have finished with it is removed. The problem with that is that I have to find another solution to do the job, so the thing is I would prefer to use and build scripts to build the version into a war file to be deployed, or if in the case of Coldfusion standard, will build the application to QA as that is internal. Then when it is ticked off we can then deploy that, but it is still a small extra manual step but we have no choice when it comes to the VPN connection. Eitherway, svn integration will be different to everyone esle. But when it comes to deployment from SVN, never use SVN to migrate to production. When I first mentioned that, people quickly jumped onto the fact you can export from SVN. Sure, but you are not using SVN to migrate to production, as you have done an export. I thought that would have been obvious to most, but it appeared not. -- Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

My personal opinion with anything like this is your mileage will vary. There are simply too many factors to heavy hand a this is the only way to do it. Everyones configurations, staff, resources, technical knowledge etc etc vary. You use what works, simple as that. Being over concerned about hard drive space is kind of crazy as well. I'm not really sure about the shared host portion of the posts as well. If you are that concerned with security, protocal, space and deployment why would you EVER be on a shared host.... thats pretty silly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:311078 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
