Upgrading WO 5.2.4 to WO5.3

[John Pollard]

I am using WO5.2.4 for development and deployment and need to upgrade to
WO5.3. I am using XCode 2.0.

Must/should I install XCode 2.4 in order to upgrade to WO5.3

Our deployed systems are running on Mac OS X Client so will also need an
upgrade. Is my only way to upgrade these also to install XCode 2.4? Can
this be done remotely from the command line (I have ssh access to our servers)?

Should I wait a week or two to see if a simpler solution arises? What if
for example Apple decided to maintain WO separately from XCode (as it
should be in my opinion)? Might I get a separate route to install WO 5.3 or
later?

There's a WebObjects package on the Xcode installer disk image, which
may work independently but I've never tried that...

Yes you can do this, having ssh'd as an admin user:

$ hdiutil attach /path/to/XcodeTools.dmg
$ sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools/WebObjects.pkg -target /
Password:
[make some coffee]
$ hdiutil detach /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools

it may actually be "WebObjects.mpkg" instead of .pkg, I can't remember
that bit at the moment and don't have an Xcode installer disk to verify.

Indeed it is.
