Two positive responses seems more than enough! Documentation in progress

For some time now I have been using git to grab particular releases (wmf.x) for my corporate wiki. As far as I can tell, I am basically doing what the biggest users of this software are doing (on a rather smaller scale) and gaining the benefit of getting arguably the best supported version at a point in time and the most functionality.

I've pretty much got updates to the: *yawn*, do it (whilst having a glass of wine) with minimal downtime.

I have pretty complete docs for installation and updating using git (--depth=1) and a system of symlinking to avoid nasty surprises and make switching from one version to the next very rapid whilst providing a way back.

Anyone have any problems with me pushing git installs on this page as a reasonable way to install the software beyond simply for development?

No, at least I do not have any issues with this. Perhaps you could create a dedicated subpage describing your process and link to it from here just to avoid this page to get crowded.

Yes, a subpage would be a good idea.

I'd say go for it! :)

User:Gerdesj/GIT Install - work in progress. When I've dusted down the basics I'll move it into place
