Hi Mike,

We just moved to 5.4.3 in production. 5.4.3 seems to be pretty good. We are still 5.3 in production, but are planning very soon to move to 5.4.3 for all of our deployments. We are currently in a mixed environment, which, as Guido said, can be a bit of a disaster. Only mix dev and deploy if you have good controls on your build and deployment process.
this sounds promising.
I've installed Eclipse/WOLips using the All-in-one-turnkey installer (thanks everyone for the wiki and podcast tutorials, they're a big help), but so far can't get a simple HelloWorld app to do a split install deployment.
Out of the box, it doesn't do split install. You can probably do that easy enough with an addition to the build.xml file. What I personally do is add a symlink in the WebServer folders to point to the WebServerResources folder in the installed application and configure apache to follow symlinks for that directory. The new versions of WOLips include support for split install out-of-the-box (including split install of embedded frameworks). This is currently only in nightly, though I suspect we'll be going to stable relatively soon.
I modified the build.xml file following the wiki and got two .woa's, I changed the permissions and violà, first deployment working!
I'm sure I'll have more questions. BTW, for adding images to WebServerResources, I found a nice short-cut, simply copy the image file and paste it to the folder in Eclipse, this was the only way I could actually get it to work, I tried to control click and add the file with no luck, does this method work like the XCode "Add existing files"?
