=> At some point, preferably soon, I'd like to snapshot the source and
=> update the server. I have done this myself in the past but I'm unclear
=> if there are new procedures in place for this. If it's no problem, I
=> can do it myself tonight.
I just had a conversation w/ Tom. He's basically going to follow
the procedure we have for making server changes:
- put the source and binaries in opssrc
- install the new binaries on the server, leaving
the old binaries around in case there's a problem
- send mail to the list detailing the change
If there's anything I've forgotten give a yell.
Warning.... before you do this, talk to Diane. I believe she has
changes in the tree that she's in the midst of testing. She merged the
changes into the moira tree in anticipation that the testing wouldn't take
that long, but it's taken longer than expected.
These changes are the ones that to avoid the database deadlock problems
that we had at the end of last term.....
