Issue with FAST Deployments and Timezone Synchronization

by dbaldwin on Wed, October 21, 2009 4:26 am

We recently ran into an issue where our SVN server’s timezone was out of sync with our development environment. This was causing problems with tagging builds for staging and production deployment. While we’ve corrected the issue we’ve yet to announce our latest release, so we’re delivering this fix in the form of a patch file. It’s a minor patch that only affects one file (lib/tasks/deployment.rake). To patch your local project simply issue the following command from your Rails directory:

patch -p0 -i /path/to/timezone_deploy_10067.diff

For more information on patching please refer to the following article: Updating Your FAST Application with the Latest Release.

You can download the patch file here. Unzip, apply, and be sure to commit your changes to SVN.
