One thing that would be helpful is to take good notes during this process. Anything you can do via the command line can be done via a script - this includes SVN and LDAP. Anything that requires user input is generally easier when done via a HTML form (buttons, textareas, checkboxes and the like). And steps like "remove expired monthly attributes" can be automated away entirely. > Marvin Humphrey - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
