 Installer component
Hi development folks,
I don't know, how you develop your components/modules, but I do most of the work directly in the files of a running local mambo installation, changing the database manually with phpmyadmin etc...
After I have finished development or bugfixing, the trouble begins:
* I have to assemble the changed files and move them to a directory structure suitable for the installer zip
* I have to update the installer XML, at least with version number, probably include new files, additional parameters etc...
* I have to add database queries to the install.php-file.
After I introduced an online update funtionality it gets even worse
* I have to assmble and rename the changed files and move them to the update server (in correct structure)
* I have to create/change server information, which files have to be updated with which version
...
not to mention that version info in the phps should be changed etc...
I really have no clue, how to organize all that, hence I created a component to do that for me, currently there's a lot of hardcoded stuff in it, but if anybody's interested, I could create a full blown component for that.
Just let me know if you would be interested in such a component, or - evne better - if you have a stable solution for the tasks I mentioned.
Thanks,
regards,
