As we draw toward being able to use APSR on a regular basis, it would be good to separate testing/development from the runtime/stable directory.
I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement from the web browser perspective. I'm thinking something like
~apsr/online = stable/tested and up-to-date configuration
and
~user/devel = development/testing, other configurations
with psrdada, psrchive, dspsr, etc. checked out in each directory. Only apsr is able to "make install" into the directory that runs the online system for observers, but somehow we are able to point the browser at our own installation areas in order to develop and run tests, e.g.
apsr-srv0.atnf.csiro.au/~straten
Would this be difficult to implement?
