H-Works Agency	Saturday 29 January 2011 4:16:57 am Hello, How do you think it'd be possible to create an ezpublish distribution files, extensions (both official & community) and database structure upgrade manager using SVN ? SVN would diff files and upgrade necessary distribution files between versions - that seems possible - but would it be able to handle database structure differences ? Then upgrade script would handle sql datas transformations if needed. Just a discussion to gather general feeling about this technique. Cheers EZP is Great

The annoying thing is that this is not enough, you still need to create the update scripts by hand (or use some db reverse-engineering tool) Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
