Are svn vendor branches still recommended for keeping ofbiz up to
date?
Are svn vendor branches still recommended for keeping custom ofbiz up to
date, as described in:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/SVN+Tips+-+svn_load_dirs+Vendor+Branch
Many thanks in advance

I do the same, plus I keep patches to configure OFBiz for deployment.

There is also an ant task that sets up the layout of such a custom hot-
deploy component, you may want to have a look at it and to its ant
targets:

That is how we do it. We pull a specific revision and patch where we
need to - and go from there - apply our custom components (where the
patches live) - and go from there.
Cheers,
Ruppert

I'm a bit confused with your deployment process. Are your production servers
synchronized directly to the ofbiz svn repository and then manually patched
and built?

Yeah - we do make changes to the core ofbiz, but we use patches (and
apply them during deployments) until they're in the trunk and we've
made the decision to upgrade. We used to do it all the time, but with
the speed at which massive changes are being made, we've grown to be a
bit more careful. That being said, we stay up to the trunk
religiously since that's where we put most of our changes as well.
We do have a local svn repo for our hot-deploy code - actually we tend
to break them up by client and have separate repos for each to make it
easier.
Cheers,
Ruppert

Hi Tim,
Do you do any changes to the core applications as extensions in hot-deploy?
Do you have a local svn repository for your hot-deploy code?
Many thanks for the reply,
Chris

I wouldn't. We do just about everything in hot-deploy and then
upgrade OFBiz whenever it's necessary. The vendor branch is one
option to keep yourself insulated from the community's changes - but
from experience - it's really a pain and not worth the effort.
Cheers,
Ruppert
