I started with having a separate repository and a shell script that copied changed files from that repository to the original sources, which IMO works well as long as you don't make too many changes to the code.
After I started having more changes in the code, not only in configuration, I started using patches. I have a DSpace git-tree, from where I generate patches for my changes. I then store the patches to a different repository and use quilt to apply them to the original sources. br, Ilja Sidoroff University of Eastern Finland ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Christoph Weber <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 4:31:38 PM To: DSpace Technical Support Subject: [dspace-tech] How to organize customizations in dspace? Hello, I'm currently setting up our dspace instance and doing a few changes to customize it. Till. ex. some changes in [dspace-source]/config/input-forms.xml and [dspace-source]/config/registries/dublin-core-types.xml to support DOI. Now I wonder what the best way is to preserve this changes after an update of dspace in the future. Its not something specific to a theme as far as I know, where I simply can put my customizations in [dspace-source]/themes/... as an overlay and use them again in the future. I want to keep my dspace repository as standard as possible to avoid any hassles on the next update. So what is the best way to do that without needing do merge all my changes manually to the new source code?
