Tom,
I would love to see a simple summary of your workflow using Git to
keep track of new changes to the default skin. Though I understand
that it might not translate if one is starting from a tarball based
installation.
Thanks,
Yamil
P.S. Congrats

MVLC uses git to maintain a branch specifically for changes to the
default skin. We thus use default with those changes. Might
documenting how we are (or rather, I am) doing this be of benefit?
Note that we have an easier time of this, as we install off of git,
not off of tarballs.

Hi everyone,
Thanks to all for providing information and feedback. The patch has
been applied successfully for the libraries of the Niagara
Evergreen Consortium.
Don't you just love it when things work so well, so quickly?!?
Applying the "what can we learn from this" test - perhaps skin-level
patches need to be called out separately in the release notes for
each
release? Without diving into everyone's catalogues, I can't say for
sure, but I bet (& hope!) that most sites don't use
/opac/skin/default/.
The default skin is, of course, what we developers test, so a nice
out-of-the-box install of Evergreen will have its bugs fixed, but
most
other Evergreen instances will not get bug fixes at upgrade time
without special attention.
The release notes section could look something like:
Bug fixes - catalog
---------------------------
The following list of catalog bugs were fixed in this release. When
you upgrade to this release, your catalog will only benefit from
these
bug fixes if you are using the 'default' skin; if you are using a
customized skin, you will need to apply the same fixes to your own
customized version of the listed files.
* 744513 - Do not strip apostrophes from advanced searches
** opac/skin/default/js/adv_global.js
* ####### - Some other bug
** File 1
** File 2
This would take a fair amount of effort to pull together, but might
be
worthwhile if someone(s) is/are willing to step up and do the work.
