I wonder how you guys manage deployment of a database between 2 SQL Servers, specifically SQL Server 2005. Now, there is a development and a live one. As this should be part of a buildscript (standard windows batch, even do with current complexity of those scripts, i might switch to PowerShell or so later), Enterprise Manager/Management ...
Python works on multiple platforms and can be used for desktop and web applications, thus I conclude that there is some way to compile it into an executable for Mac, Windows and Linux. The problem being I have no idea where to start or how to write a GUI with it, can anybody shed some light on this and point me in the right direction pl...
We are currently using a somewhat complicated deployment setup that involves a remote SVN server, 3 SVN branches for DEV, STAGE, and PROD, promoting code between them through patches, etc. I wonder what do you use for deployment in a small dev team situation? ...

Do you use ILMerge? Do you use ILMerge to merge multiple assemblies to ease deployment of dll's? Have you found problems with deployment/versioning in production after ILMerging assemblies together? I'm looking for some advice in regards to using ILMerge to reduce deployment friction, if that is even possible. James Pogran ...
I am now in the process of planning the deployment of a SharePoint solution into a production environment. I have read about some tools that promise an easy way to automate this process, but nothing that seems to fit my scenario. In the testing phase I have used SharePoint Designer to copy site content between the different development ...
What's the general consensus on supporting Windows 2000 for software distribution? Are people supporting Windows XP SP2+ for new software development or is this too restrictive still? ...
For .net 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have the new client profile which installs only a subset of .net 3.5 SP1 on to Windows XP user's machines. I'm aware of how to make my assemblies client-profile ready. And I've read the articles on how to implement an installer for ClickOnce or MSI. But I've been using Inno Setup for my project so far and I'...
I work on quite a few DotNetNuke sites, and occasionally (I haven't figured out the common factor yet), when I use the Database Publishing Wizard from Microsoft to create scripts for the site I've created on my Dev server, after running the scripts at the host (usually GoDaddy.com), and uploading the site files, I get an error... I'm 99...
With the increased power of JavaScript frameworks like YUI, JQuery, and Prototype, and debugging tools like Firebug, doing an application entirely in browser-side JavaScript looks like a great way to make simple applications like puzzle games and specialized calculators. Is there any downside to this other than exposing your source code...
What are some standard practices for managing a medium-large javascript app? My concerns are both speed for browser download and ease and maintainability of development. Our JS is roughly "namespaced" eg: var Client = { var1: '', var2: '', accounts: { /* 100's of functions and variables */ }, orders: { /* 1...
I know this is pretty exotic, but I want to deploy a Ruby web application (not Rails, but Rack based, so it plugs into most Ruby servers just fine) using JRuby. Google and friends give me a few success stories, but mostly rails related and if not, no details on the deployment are provided. The framework I'm using is Ramaze, if it matters...
There are so many examples of how to set up your dotnet projects but none seemed to fit our situation. We have one solution with multiple applications, multiple dependencies. We're on SourceSafe currently and are planning to move to subversion but are finding it difficult to organize our source the right way. Example solution App1 ...
So, in your experience, whats the best way? Is there a secure way that's also scriptable/triggerable in a build automation tool? Edit: I should mention this is windows/.net and I'll be deploying to iis6 ...
Within Ruby on Rails applications database.yml is a plain text file that stores database credentials. When I deploy my Rails applications I have an after deploy callback in my Capistrano recipe that creates a symbolic link within the application's /config directory to the database.yml file. The file itself is stored in a separate direc...
Trying to setup an SSH server on windows server 03. What are some good ones? Preferably open source. I plan on using WinSPC as a client so a server which supports the advanced features implemented by that client would be great. ...
Our team develops distributed winform apps. We use ClickOnce for deployment and are very pleased with it. However, we've found the pain point with ClickOnce is in creating the deployments. We have the standard dev/test/production environments and need to be able to create deployments for each of these that install and update separate ...
Hi all, OK a real question - I'd like to add the ability for users of a system I developed to make package a set of changes together so that they can deploy their package of changes to an acceptance testing environment, do their testing, and then at a later point (if testing was successful) deploy that package of changes to a live envir...
I have a product which has been traditionally shipped as an MSI file. It is deployed through some sort of SMS push to thousands of desktops by our various clients. The software we use to create these installers is getting long in the tooth and we are looking to replace it. We have already standardized on InstallAnywhere for most of ou...
