We really want to start pushing-out products using the 3.5 framework but it is a pain having to install the framework on every PC. We can get the app to do and automatic update on first run but that takes forever. Is there any way to force all the PC's to update overnight? e.g. via Windows Update... Our PCs are a mix of XP and Vista ...

I am wondering if anyone has any plugins or capistrano recipes that will "pre-heat" the page cache for a rails app by building all of the page cached html at the time the deployment is made, or locally before deployment happens. I have some mostly static sites that do not change much, and would run faster if the html was already written...
I've built and successfully deployed a ClickOnce application. The repository url is at http://mywebsite.com/Install The application successfully updates when needed, and everything works fine. However, I don't like the fact than everybody on the internet can access the files freely (even if he's not one of my customers) Since I have o...
I have a ClickOnce app which ties into our software and we deploy and use internally. We want to get this to customers, but with the customer hosting the clickonce update site.

I'm thinking about using Python as an embedded scripting language in a hobby project written in C++. I would not like to depend on separately installed Python distribution. Python documentation seems to be quite clear about general usage, but I couldn't find a clear answer to this. Is it feasible to deploy a Python interpreter + standar...
Hi, I am writing php web applications, and simply deploy them via FTP. To make it work, I often have some tweaking/debugging to do given that I have little control over the (free) web server hosting me, so what's working in my local environment might not work live. For example I keep a separate php file containing class_db_myapp.php wh...
Has anyone had any experience in relocating a ClickOnce deployment? I have deployed several applications via ClickOnce internal to my company, and now the drive hosting the apps has been moved to a different computer on a different network mapping.

We have a couple of Django applications deployed on the same subdomain. A few power users need to jump between these applications.

If the use...

What are the best tools out there for automated deployments of Windows Services (i.e. NT Services) and ASP.NET web sites? I know of good tools for automated builds, tests, versioning, and all that stuff, but I'm curious if there are any boiler-plate batch/PowerShell/MSBuild/NAnt/etc. scripts out there that can accomplish something like ...

I've been asked to install Mediawiki to house documentation for a company intranet. Furthermore, I've been asked to install several instances - one per contributing group: non-technical users get one, developers one, management one, etc. The idea is to provide separate web spaces for each group. Is there a way to achieve separation withi...
Configuration management for our EE application requires us to create a new database connection datasource from time to time. We do this right now by modifying the deploy/[dbtype]-ds.xml file, inserting an additional connection definition into this file. The problem is, doing so causes the existing connections to be undeployed and rede...

Generating the jar with the proper manifest is easy, but I do not know how to get maven to copy the depen...
