Thanks, Paul-Andre.  I suspected it wasn't easy.  I may well wait for SW 
version 2.7.

While it's out of date, the devops-blog.net post is still a good start, but you 
also need to read the comments that fill in a lot of the gaps. You can also 
look at my April 12 post in the archives of this list.

That said, the version handling issues in the current 2.6 version that will get 
addressed in PR 500 are significant (see Robert Paschedag's Jul 17 post in the 
list archives), so you may want to hold off until 2.7 if it's going to come out 
soon since it will require rebuilding and re-populating all your channels and 
repos. Based on past release history we're due for a version release soon, but 
I don't know what the progress on that is or even where to look for an 
update/status. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that as I would 
appreciate an update.

Cheers,
