advice on continuous deployment with Bazaar

Asked by Fred Zimmerman

Hello,

I am looking for advice on how to use bzr for continuous deployment of a web application. Our small team is successfully using bzr to manage our development code. We would like to be able to be able to push changes to production throughout the day. Is this a well understood problem? What are the common approaches? My first thought is to set up a separate branch called production and do pushes to it. Does that make sense?

Fred

The two common approaches I've seen are just having a branch on the
website, and then configuring the web server (eg Apache) to not server
the .bzr directory.

Alternatively, you can use the 'bzr-upload' plugin. Which writes a
very minimal branch that doesn't have any ancestry, but enough data
that it can do delta pushes.
