Taming Large Scale PHP Projects

Manual Export

• Staging Server is just a series of files

• Need to jump through a few hoops

mkdir www.example.com-tmp
cd www.example.com-tmp
cvs export -r HEAD www.example.com
mv www.example.com www.example.com-old
mv www.example.com-tmp www.example.com
rm -rf www.example.com-old

Notes

• Always get clean copy

• No CVS files in web tree

• Easy to modify to use tags
