The ant upload targets discussed previously are simply calls to the scp command line tool. The

deploy directory is uploaded to mcba5, and then to mistral to optimize network bandwidth for

developers operating on slow connections

. The entire application can be compiled and

deployed from a 56K modem connection in approximately 8 minutes.

6.7 Conclusion

This system allows any authorised user to checkout any version of the software to any

development environment, then compile and deploy both the server and the clients using two

simple commands. All this is done without compromising the working versions of the software. It is

also compatible with minor changes to the build system itself, provided the core principle of the

apt__V<version-key> directory are preserved. This directory must completely encapsulate a

version of the software.

Since this deployment framework was introduced, several versions have been successfully

deployed on mistral using this system allowing the APT operator to rapidly switch between

different versions of the software.

It is assumed that the connection from mcba5 to mistral is faster than the developers workspace

to mistral.
