I've always kept a clean ofbiz-trunk with changes in them - which is where I create the patches from. Then in the individual projects that I'm working on, I maintain a set of patches that I must apply to the framework/applications area at least until the trunk gets updated with my patches. Then I've got the best of both worlds - the separate download where I maintain and build my patches as well as my project specific place where I wouldn't be creating my patches from.

Hope that helps - and if you have any other questions on exceptions to this rule, please feel free to ask some more Q's.

Cheers,
Tim

While I have been working on Ofbiz for a while, I have not made a good enough effort to contribute back bug fixes and enhancements that I feel would be valuable to the product. I have started to do this, but I have a question
about how people handle their workspace while they are waiting for
contributions to be approved/rejected.

I have created a few JIRAs and attached patch files to them for my changes. However, as I do more and more work I end up with more and more changes in my workspace that are updated. It will ultimately become very difficult to determine which files I should include in the next patch; moreover I may
result in dependencies.

Does any non-contributor (or contributor for that matter) have a suggestion
on how to manage this?  I am thinking about using Mylyn and the JIRA
integration to relate the files. This does not help the patch generation
...

Anyone have a better suggestion?
