I am not the author of web2py-for-fluxflex, but here is my understanding anyway. The web2py-for-fluxflex repo is designed to be "nearly empty". It just contains scripts to download latest official web2py stable release. That is it. Nothing more. And this way every user can use this repo, instead of everyong forking his own web2py repo which will soon become out-of-sync. So later we need to use "web2py way" to do all other jobs, includes but not limited to: 1. upgrade the web2py by clicking "upgrade" button in web2py's admin app (I guess no one did that yet, at the time of my writing this post) 2. upload/upgrade/deploy individual app, by packing your web2py app into a .w2p file and then upload it. I havn't tried that yet. It might encounter some "post-size-limit" of fluxflex. We will see. I don't know how to git-pull or hg-pull an individual app, like I did on webfaction. Perhaps that is not possible on fluxflex, unless they provide an ssh shell in the future. Just my 2 cents. Regards, Ray
