The big disadvantage is that the configuration of your production website instances are not in a VCS, you cannot track or merge changes to them or their ancestors, and if a box goes kabluie, you can't instantly re-create it. Configuration is code, code lives in a VCS. (Our configuration files live in a separate repository to the project or app code, and are finangled into place based upon the hostname) Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
