A couple of additional nifty options with versioning available (compared to having the whole web2py in a classic repository of some sort):
- applications can check for newer versions in an organized way - migrating to newer versions that require additional magic to model migration is easier - versioning tool agnostic, you can have different apps in different types of repositories - common web interface, no need for console login for quick checks/ updates/changelogs (security implications, no need for ssh login for people who just need to update apps !) - on debugging/troubleshooting you know exactly what version was in question to avoid chasing bogus out of date bugs On Mar 3, 4:44 pm, ceej <cjlaz...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Versioning in web2py admin would be great, it would mean you could > purely develop online on the same server using a test environment and > then update the production server once stable.
