Whether it'd be a > recommended workflow or not is a different question. ... snip ... backing up just a bit, i'm *assuming* this is a reasonable question to ask, yes? if one wants to build for a custom product, one assumes that product will have versioned releases and bug-fix releases, all possibly based on some combination of different YP layers, each which might have local enhancements, and all wrapped up with custom config files. so defining a workflow to handle all this seems like a reasonable thing to ask for. i'm surprised it hasn't already been written up somewhere. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
