If you are installing from git, then the dev mode is good. If you are installing from a release tarball then standard is what most people would use.
I meant that i use git for production also because it's more quick and easy to upgrade. I never used another method than the git one even in production.
Sure lots of people do. But the average person who wants Koha for their small library probably runs off a release, not from git.
Dev mode is for people who are going to be doing updates, and rollbacks. Standard is for the majority of people who download a release, install it and leave it.
Imagine you installed koha 3.0.0, if you want to take benefits from patches (bug corrections), you are now in 3.0.2. I would like to use git as a 'aptitude update' or 'windows update'. I see it as the best practice and wonder if i missed unexpected and dangerous effects.
You can do that, but lots of people like to run from releases, and upgrade when a new release comes out. Standard mode is for them. It might be best practice for those people familiar with git, but lots of people do run from releases. Chris
