You guys are kidding, right? I have to use source code control or Git or Fabric (none of which I'm familiar with), just to update my *production*system? I have to spend time and energy to learn all these tools (which I no longer need for development)?
In all other respects, web2py is easy...writing a web2py application is easy...deploying it is easy...but *updating* it requires jumping through all these hoops? Please tell me that this is a sick joke.
