Originally by: Cilees Riggers Let them take their time. Dont want a repeat of last year when everyone patched and it deleted our boot.ini file and we had to fix windows
What's a boot.ini file?
Since I'm going to be unable to test my own deployment system tonight, I thought I'd describe it instead. Kind of like a walk-through.
I play with the windows client, deployed to unix on a network share. I run numerous identities but I only want a single deployment, shared by all characters. This makes patching far easier than multi-client installs, and by installing to a raid5 disk on the server it has a performance boost as well.
The base client was installed from windows to the server's samba share. I then tested and set this to read-only when satisfied. My deployment script then simply takes the character name as input and creates a simulated EVE environment with soft-links to the static files. The necessary directories for local caching and per-character settings are physically created for each character. The deployment script will be changed soon to read in a pre- set list of characters to deploy. This will allow for multiple deployments for any particular character so that one could effectively "save" different screen layouts; scanning, trading, or blowing stuff up screens could be "saved" as different deployments at a disk-space cost of only the space required for the caches. The EVE executable is a shortcut in windows pointing to a particular deployment on the server, and named accordingly (e.g. "Lunatic Shakhid - Trading Layout").
I do maintain, as failover, another completely independent EVE installation directly on the games PC. This is for use if my file-server should be unavailable. It's also installed on an SSD I recently added in order to assess the performance of such devices for disk-intensive applications such as EVE. Verdict: Awesome! Get one. Even better, get two and configure them as raid0 (and watch your cores try to keep up!).
Next project is to mount the SSD on the server and redeploy for all clients.

Yea, the server is up, I used the dl link from a previous post to update. Though the server is up, it isn't ready to accept conenctions, except the 7 ccp employees having a cap fight that is :P |

Waiting at the login screen too. We'll have to wait to find out if that's the final patch version though.
I really like the new splash screen showing stuff being dropped from the orbital platform and then other stuff rocketing up to it. Looks cool! |

You guys should probably invest in a test server to check updates before deployment. |

Originally by: CCP Navigator EVE Online: Tyrannis is still being deployed and our Quality Assurance department is running further testing. This is likely to continue beyond our original schedule and we will have an update for you at 18:00 UTC. We thank you for your continued patience.
18:20 UTC: We are still in deployment and will next update you at 19:00 UTC. - Adida
19:00 UTC: The Tyrannis deployment is still underway. We will next update you at 20:00 UTC and advise you of any changes. - Adida
19:30 UTC: The API has been taken offline for the time being. We will next update you at 20:00 UTC and advise you of any changes.
Useless update is useless, I expected an update with information, on when, what, why or how. We already know you are in deployment when the server isn't up. A few words on what's happening would be welcome.
Well, it's a good thing they don't cater to everything *YOU* expect, because deployment would take even longer having to commit more manhours to explaining every little detail to you.

Hi forum!
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy patch day again.
Today I got lots of sleep, watched some movies, did some artsy stuff, I even took a trip outside. I hope everyone is having just as much fun celebrating patch day as I am.  |

Hello,
I am a windows server guru, and in some cases i play with server config in a separate server and test deployment and all those stuff before i actually take the production server down and affecting daily operations. It seems CCP has an idea of this concept with test server, but it seems they dont have it, imo the best practice here would be having 2 identically live servers and use 1 of them for this testing purpose. Well sorry for the flame but i speak what i see. |

thank to CCP for her good work,her stability in avancement of this game,her inventivity!
i have nothing against "her" as long as "she" will add this day to all my accounts since i was not able to play.
Hell... I'll pay you the WHOLE day if you shut the f.uck up! Let's do the math like AoshiKenshin did... $15 a month. 30 days in a month. That's $0.50 a day. Would you like your 50 cents mailed to you or deposited into your bank account?
Please make the payment in Bacon

well as much as i enjoy discussing with people like you that try to stuff the holes in your imbecile brain by being rude and using in a civilized discussion a word which most likely represents a good percent of your vocabulary ( and surely shows your frustrated sexuality ), i would take the isk equivalent offer instead. 30 days for a plex which costs 300 mil isk, thats 10 mil isk per day, times my 7 accounts, ill be waiting for your 70 mil isk as soon as the server is up. And be sure to let me know when you have mailed the 40 thousand euros to the rest of the players that PAID CCP today for nothing. Probably this idea did not fit into your brain, but the reason CCP is doing this update is like 0.1% for their enjoyment and 99.9% for our money.
