Hi -
[Apologies for the cross-post but there may be answers to this question
coming from people who are subscribed to Seaside but not Squeak-dev]
What are the best practices for upgrading portions of your running
server? I'm not talking about replacing the main business logic of your
server application but rather relatively small things like an improved
log module, or an administrative report function etc. Basically parts
that you can assume aren't used while you upgrade them.
I was quite surprised that I wasn't able to find any recommendations on
how to do that. And I can't imagine that this problem hasn't come up in
Seaside or other Squeak or Smalltalk server deployments. So what do
people do in such a situation? Fire up VNC and load the latest MC
package? Is that feasible when you have hundreds of users pounding the
server? Any other (semi- or fully-) automated variants? Alternative
recommendations?
Thanks for any insights you can share.
Cheers,
- Andreas
