[Product-Developers] Re: GenericSetup, uninstall and propertiestool object

[JeanMichel FRANCOIS]

setup tool exist to help you setup your app.
portal quick installer also, most of the time developer don't create any 
uninstall script. But quickinstaller track created object, and if you 
uninstall just delete them. 

In my opinion, don't try to uninstall anything, don't try to install modules 
on production server except if you know what you are doing. Uninstall is a 
pain and depends on the integration you have done.

Most of the time, i m starting by installing on a dev instance the product, 
next i m testing it, next i m reading the code, and finaly if the customer 
whant its feature i integrate it to the project (i apply the profile of the 
product, and next apply the integration profile that fix most of wrong configs 
done by other products)

My wish would be to delete quickinstaller and portal_setup on production 
server :)
