Hi Everyone, I have recently taken over the administration of my library's CONTENTdm installation, and am currently completing the upgrade to the 5.x version. (This upgrade also involves a migration to Linux.) I have a question that may be best answered by the more technical audience on this list rather than through the product's listserv. In CONTENTdm 4.x, it seems that a number of configurations could only be accomplished by directly modifying PHP scripts that contained significant amounts of logic. As I will be making customizations on this system soon, I want to create a system that will allow me to rollback files when I inevitably make a serious mistake, as we have no formal testing server. I have decided to try loading key application files into a svn repository to accomplish this. (I'm sure there are some adamant CVS or Git users out there who will have strong opinions about my choice of software.) However, because of the way the application is architected, there are some key parts of the application that I do not want loaded into the repository, such as temporary files that store a PID. Because I cannot simply load the whole application into a single repository and call it a day, I am looking to make some top level directories separate repositories. However, I want to skip top level directories that will never, or only very rarely be modified and focus on building repositories for directories that will benefit from change control. I am currently looking at creating repositories for docs and conf. Does anyone out there who administers a CONTENTdm installation have any thoughts about this?
