[Netarchivesuite-users] Add or change pseudo-top-level-domains

[Mikis Seth Sørensen]

Hi Meelis

The pseudo top level domains are defined in the common settings of the
settings and are therefore distributed to all application as part of the
deploy process.


I think that the only managable way to maintain the NAS application
configuration for the system is to only make permanent changes to the
central settings used by the deploy process. As the number of NAS
applications rise it will become more and more difficult to maintain the
individual application configuration by hand, and it will be nearly
impossible to upgrade the system, as a upgrade normally includes some
changes to the settings which would need to be merged to the applications
settings individually.

Note that isn¹t neccessary to redeploy the entire system because of a
reconfiguration. As you can see from the RunNetarchiveSuite.sh quickstart
file, the configuration generation, deployment and startup/shutdown of the
applications are separate substeps. So you can still manually copy a new
configuration to an application and restart the application, even if you
use the central setting file to generate the application specific
settings. 

You can of course make temporary changes to the application
configurations, but these will overwritten the next time you do a system
deploy, typical in connection with a upgrade.

Cheers
Mikis
