best way to put my product on my production server

[anorakgirl]

Hi,
Sorry if this is a simple question. I'm still new to all the terminology, so although I've searched the documentation I'm finding it hard to pull out the bits I need.

I have made a new archtype based product, using paster. I answered Yes about making a Zope 2 product. It contains a content type and a portlet. I've been developing it on my PC. The files are in src and I put it in buildout.cfg under develop  as well as in eggs and zcml for the instance. This all worked fine.

Now I'm happy with it, and I want to put it on our production server. I don't want to package it up to share (yet - may do when it is more advanced) but I'm not sure where to put it. I assume I don't want it in src.

I tried putting it in products but not sure what to put in buildout.cfg. Is this the right approach and I should persevere, or can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Maybe keeping it in "src" isn't 100% koscher, but if you're small shop: why not?

I'm sometimes doing that, checking out from a subversion repository. Somewhat sloppy, yes maybe. But not every production environment needs formal release procedures.

Hi,

Thanks for that - I had just assumed there were some performance implications keeping it in src, is that not true?

Definitely not. I always keep my custom products in src/ and manage the
builds using tags in Subversion. Some people make internal egg releases,
but it's overkill for most.
