The last two weeks were hectic. Deployment and making the sufficient stuff necessary for deployment is tough. I tend to really appreciate those people who stay the whole night resolving production issues. May it be Garbage Collection issues with the server/java or CPU spikes. These seemed to be problems which took most of the time.
Packaging is also a problem not to be taken lightly. Resolving the dependencies and making sure that no major update goes unnoticed is a tedious job. Just to look into the set of packages is boring and one tends to lose patience quite frequently. I still think that having test packages and using them on a QA machine makes sense only if the QA is not meant to replicate the actual production instance. If they do, then the packages that must be installed must be stable packages. YUM is be given great credit for the fantastic work they do.
