Some of our bundled things are possibly mangled beyond all repair in
terms of our ability to move to a later version or getting the changes
integrated into their upstreams e.g. our xmlsec1 and rhino, and some
have turned into real nightmares to manage, e.g. stlport and icu. And
nearly everything else has fallen far behind the latest stable upstream
versions, maybe just due to conservatism, but difficulty in rebasing the
patches is probably a factor too.
Well that´s one of the main things ChildWorkspace handling
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/CWS) has been designed for:
allowing developers to work on a couple of new features and bugfixes
while making it relative easy to rebase the newly developed stuff to
what´s going on in the main branch. There´s an utility called cwsresync
that does most of the work needed to rebase to a new version for you. I
would just wish that all developers would just use them instead of some
maintaining their own private source code on their hardisk and not as a
branch in CVS and not as a CWS and than creating patches from that.
