So I'm a bit curious and perhaps I'm missing the point here (probably am)
but why go through all this hassle? Why not just do a straight FTP of the
files from the staging machine to the deployment machine?  Does using
checkin/check out benefit us in some way besides the original file integrity
and management?

Here's how I to do it.

As you said, have a subversion client installed on the server running your
web host.   If your doc root is /var/www/html,  have html be a symlink to
current code.

/var/www/html -> /var/www/tag_XXXX


and you can also svn export to an nfs share, and then rsync from there to
multiple machines if you want.
the rsync and any other tasks can be done by a deploy script.
using that tag method you can also automate changelog through svn log. you'd
have to have the tag revision numbers.





The build script checks out the new tag to the doc root in directory
/var/www/tag_newtagname.   The last thing the build script does is switch
the html symlink from the old tag to the new tag to make the deployment
live.

Hiya,

So I've recently been put in charge of a tech department at my company.
One issue that we are trying to get a handle on is a good way to get our
PHP applications from a development/staging environment to a production
server. The production servers are accessible via ssh/ftp/etc. One quick
thought would be to install a subversion client on the server and have
that export the application to a spot where a build script could then set
it up. However, is there a "best-practices" way of doing this?

Thanks!
