[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Documentation question: restoring customizations after upgrade

[Joe Atzberger]

Dan,

This sounds like a good case for a DVCS, allowing you to have your changes
more in-stream than in-parallel.  Now that they are available, have you
considered using a either the launchpad or github repos as a starting point?


Upsides: lighter weight, less maintenance having to duplicate updates in
parallel, your changes would live upstream from the your production install,
and you could easily switch back and forth w/ stock code.

Downsides: conversion, possible mirror latency, new tools.

I suppose if you aren't doing it though, than probably nobody is yet.  But
as far as documentation goes, it might be better for us to outline the
process of maintaining customizations w/ DVCS so as to have everything under
one paradigm that's a little more portable, durable and likely to succeed.
