I overheard somewhere (though I can't remember the details) that using the dev install mode makes it easier to upgrade koha. I've never done a koha upgrade; we're not fully migrated yet, but I'd like to facilitate future upgrades as much as possible.

I've had no problem setting up a koha standard install; when I try a dev install, my zebra server won't run. The server reports on boot up (and when I manually start Zebra) that it is starting the Zebra Daemon and Zebra Server, but when I look for the process (top -c), it's not there. No error messages are generated when starting the server.

Is there something special that must be done with Zebra conf on a dev install?

Can someone explain the advantages of a dev install? I understand that it allows you to run the majority of the koha server files directly from a git clone. I see how this could simplify an upgrade, but are there other advantages that will encourage me to get to the bottom of this?

Thanks for your time.
