Best Practices: local mods to a open source project
I'm fairly new to subversion, so I want to get my head around this
before setting everythign up.
We have a number of apps based on open source projects, often with
local modifications. I want to use subversion to manage the local
changes, and also be easily updated with new releases from the public
projects.
The basic setup is simple enough: /project/trunk as the location for
the public releases, and then /project/branch for the local
modifications.
My question comes in integrating new releases from the open source
projects. Assuming I have
v1.0 in /project/trunk
local mods in /project/branch
and I want to update the trunk to v1.01 that was just released,
what's the best way to go about this? Is svk the answer with it's
mirroring features?
Thanks,
Steve

The Book has the answer. Vendor Branches.

situation.
