> What sort of def scaffolding do you mean? version control software, to start with. perhaps more. i guess my viewpoint is coloured as the last thing i was working on was deployed to client desktop machines. there was absolutely no way we were going to be pushing to those with version control. if you are deploying to a server you own, i guess in principle you can do whatever you want. one of my colleagues rigged a build to create a debian package for the server-side version of the code we worked on. that took a bit of mucking about to get going but was very nice when it was set up.
