There is More Than One Way…
When I give my tutorial session at the MySQL Conference and Expo next month, I am going to talk a lot about different tools that you can use to manage your release processes. For example, I will be spending a lot of time talk about how to use source control, and I will be using Bazaar in the tutorial. And I will be talking about how to package releases and I will be using Apache’s Maven. The system that I will show you how to put together will work brilliantly on it’s own. And it wasn’t entirely created in a vacuum – it is based on at least 2 implementations with which I’ve been involved. But it may not work for you and your environment out of the box. There are tons of different source control systems out there, and there are probably equally as many build systems. Chances are your company is already using some of these tools for application development. You should leverage these existing tools as much as possible. (more…)
