What is the intended maintenance cycle for MODx revolution? User data is kept inside the core directory structure, so an upgrade will be more than a simple delete core + install new. Is the user expected to backup/restore user data on each upgrade, or will revolution have some upgrade management build in? Maybe through the package manager, since core is already a package?
And just to eliminate confusion, I refer to all differences between the core release package and the installation environment as being user data here...

The core/packages/ and core/components/ directories will be the only locations with "user data" and these will not be touched during upgrades. In fact, we use SVN to checkout just the core/ directory to a location on the server and use SVN update + uploading a newly built core.transport.zip into core/packages/ (from the same revision obviously) to do our upgrades of the core.]]> opengeek Sep 13, 2009, 10:54 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/28884/maintenance-question#dis-post-155534 <![CDATA[Maintenance question]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/28884/maintenance-question#dis-post-155533 And just to eliminate confusion, I refer to all differences between the core release package and the installation environment as being user data here...]]> jacob733 Sep 13, 2009, 06:34 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/28884/maintenance-question#dis-post-155533
