[mapguide-internals] Re: 32 bit installer on build machine

[Martin Morrison]

Actually, I'm not worried as much as about two versions as I am two instances.  We have different instances (same version) installed to support different sites.  We had to hack things to make it work.

Hi Zac,

I do not believe we have considered side by side installation.  Taking a quick look at the installation image, there are few things we would have to change.  There might be more:

1. Install into OSGeo/MapGuide2.2 (or similar) instead of just OSGeo/MapGuide.
2. Registry settings for OSGeo/MapGuide (probably add version underneath)
3. Version specific virtual directory in IIS
4. MSI unique identifier (I'm guessing there is one?)

Jackie and Jason are the primary maintainers for the Windows installer and implementing these items could be a fair bit of work.  Time permitting, side by side is definitely a good feature.

Although I have not completed the Linux packaging for Ubuntu, the same issue would still apply unless we do some directory revisionsing, ie. /usr/local/mapguideopensource becomes /usr/local/mapguideopensource-2.2.  I will take a look at doing this for Linux. 

Good thing I stuck that test build up there :)

Thanks Zac,
Trevor

any reason why can't install two versions, ie 2.1 and test 2.2 on the
same machine?

MapGuideOpenSource-2.2.0.4686-Test.exe wouldn't install

We should also add databases with standardized data sets to the build/test environment.  Then we can write a few unit tests for the databases.  This will help ensure that the builds are solid.

It will also allow us to set up a more complete environment.  I sure as heck don't want to maintain four different databases (SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS) just for myself.
