[rules-users] Guvnor -> Best Practices for Changes in Production / DEV Environment

[Stephen Masters]

My approach has been to connect Eclipse to Guvnor in the two environments. I can then refresh each of them and run a compare between the 2 directory structures. Once I had done it a couple of times, it became pretty smooth.

But when we just build the xxx_rules.pkg in our DEV-Guvnor and overwrite the xxx_rules.pkg from the customer, the changes from the Customer are lost. So how can we get the changes to the rules from the Customer to our DEV-Guvnor? The only way we now, is to export/import the whole repository. But with that, the changes (updated/created rules) from our DEV-Guvnor are overwritten...
