Not sure this is the right area of the forum for this question, but I'd really love to hear your opinion on which is the best way to do versioning of umbraco development. Especially, areas of the application cannot just be packaged in a deployable package, but for example the document types are stored in the database: how to you version them?
What I'd love to achieve is having a new installation of umbraco, and be able to package all my customizations in something that could be easily deployed with a single command (and which also is the same entity that I want to keep track of in my source control)
Are there proven best practices on how to do this? Any pointers? What do you do?
