RE: [Apc-aa-coders] Named views

[Mitra <mi...@mi...>]

Say a little more about your utility

- is there an import equivalent ?
- does it export/import views?

Basically, what I'm looking for is some way to develop on one box, and th=
en install on another, a
typical site includes a number of slices, views and constant definitions,=
 that really want to be
moved as a set?  Developing on a long, sometimes slow, link to a live ser=
ver is not really that
productive!
