Tony,

 

If it’s a similar machine (e.g. the same version of Ubuntu etc) then you should be able just apt-get install exactly the same packages that you used apt-get to install on the development machine.

 

Then instead of going through the process of installing all the gems as before, you should be able to just erase /usr/lib/ruby on the production machine and replace it with a copy of that directory on the development machine.  Once you do this, you should be able to list all the gems you’d expect to see there. Just as a reminder, you’ll also need the “dot” binary to generate workflow images.

 

With regards to our trunk directory, our aim is to keep trunk stable enough for anyone to check out a working copy at any time and be able to get myExperiment up and running.  When we do development work in the repository that isn’t stable, we work on a branch in the branches directory.

 

Give us a shout if you want a hand with the merge process.

 

Cheers,

Don.

Great!  I’ll let Don, Jits or Dan respond to this one in detail (sounds like something to be on the developers wiki... we have policies about how trunk is handled with our distributed dev team and how we stage via an internal test server).

One more...

 

In a week or so I'm hoping to deploy the version of myexperiment that I've modified (rev 1549) so that colleagues on SKUA can see what I've got so far. Is there an easy way to do that or do I have to get access to the server concerned and go through the same process as in developers.txt?

 

Once I've done that I'll merge the current version of the code back in to my version. Is trunk always a clean working version or do I need to wait for someone to announce a clean version?

 

Cheers,

Tony.
