Thomas Thiel	Friday 14 November 2003 3:02:53 am hi, hoping not being too far off topic I would like to ask you for your specific strategies setting up and maintaining your svn/cvs-repository of ezp3 together with your own modifications. I regularly update my svn-checkout from ezp-svnserver. Quite often I also adapt/extend kernel-sources to my needs. These adaptations I also want to bring into the svn - together with the downloaded svn-modifications from eZSystems. And then there are a lot of client-specific .tpl and .ini-adaptations that should be saved together with the specific design-ressources. How do you accomplish this? Read svn-docu several times but maybe I'm too stupid to set up a svn-design and strategy to fit the described needs. Thanks in advance, Thomas
Bård Farstad	Friday 14 November 2003 3:41:42 am Thomas, what I normally do when I set up a site is to have the directories settings/siteaccess/mysite_user, settings/siteaccess/mysite_admin and design/mysite in a svn repository. Then I can version control my own changes for the specific project. You need a separate svn server/repository to do this. You should not need to change kernel sources for your projects, if you need to do this you should use the plugin system for the part you need. E.g. write a new datatype, module or template operator. I would normally not use the svn version of eZ publish ( unless it's the stable branch ) for a project. Then when I update the live server ( e.g. ez.no ) I just do an svn up on this server to get all my local changes upgraded. If things go very wrong you can always back up to the previous version with svn, which is very nice. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
