It was discussed sometime back. There is also tip on wiki related to
this.

Hi,
Is there any option to filter the contact list? for which we are sending the mail On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 9:06 AM, Raj Saini <[hidden email]> wrote: > It was discussed sometime back.

Best stable version for production ecommerce web site

Hello,
I have read the documentation http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan What version is the best for a production ecommerce web site ? Branch release.4.0 Where is the tag "stable" ? How can I download / update my package to this tag with subversion ? Thanks Eric |
Re: Best stable version for production ecommerce web site

The release branch would hopefully be more stable, but it will be
missing all of the features added to the main trunk since it branched. At the end of the day the choice is yours, if you are going to do enough testing then no reason you can't snapshot the trunk version test what you need to use, fix (and submit patches) and get the best of the recent changes. Re SVN updates read through these for some ideas: http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/l http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/8gI Ray PS: I don't think there is a "stable" tag, just the release branch and trunk. PPS: There have been rumours of doing a new release branch sometime soonish but no commitments on that one!

Thank you very much for your advices
I go to study in order to use and maintain a custom trunk ! > The release branch would hopefully be more stable, but it will be > missing all of the features added to the main trunk since it branched. > At the end of the day the choice is yours, if you are going to do enough > testing then no reason you can't snapshot the trunk version test what > you need to use, fix (and submit patches) and get the best of the recent > changes. > > Re SVN updates read through these for some ideas: > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/l > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/8gI > > Ray > > PS: I don't think there is a "stable" tag, just the release branch and > trunk. > > PPS: There have been rumours of doing a new release branch sometime > soonish but no commitments on that one! > > > > Eric wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have read the documentation >> http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan >> What version is the best for a production ecommerce web site ?

In reply to this post by Ray Barlow
Here is the system I use, for what it's worth:
1. I keep two main patch files - basic_development.patch and basic_production.patch. Both patch files change the OFBiz configuration to work with our network environment, each one using settings chosen for the task - development or production. Only one patch is used at a time. 2. I keep all of my custom development in a single folder under the ofbiz/applications folder. I avoid touching the trunk code at all costs - except for the configuration patches mentioned above. 3. To keep my local copy updated, I do an SVN revert (to reverse the changes made by the patch), then an SVN update, then re-apply the patch. My custom development folder is untouched by the SVN commands, because SVN doesn't "know" about the folder. This works really well and it doesn't involve any complicated merging - since the configuration files changed by the patches seldom change in the trunk. -Adrian Ray Barlow wrote: > The release branch would hopefully be more stable, but it will be > missing all of the features added to the main trunk since it branched. > At the end of the day the choice is yours, if you are going to do enough > testing then no reason you can't snapshot the trunk version test what > you need to use, fix (and submit patches) and get the best of the recent > changes. > > Re SVN updates read through these for some ideas: > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/l > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/8gI > > Ray > > PS: I don't think there is a "stable" tag, just the release branch and > trunk. > > PPS: There have been rumours of doing a new release branch sometime > soonish but no commitments on that one! > > > > Eric wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have read the documentation >> http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan >> What version is the best for a production ecommerce web site ?

Hi,
Do you have a production server working every time (without failure) ? If an updated version of the trunk contains a bug, what happens ? Is the following system realistic ? I develop with a local copy from the OFBiz Trunk. *** At once this local copy is my working copy (client) from the official repository (OFBiz trunk server) and the server (repository) to my OFBiz production copy in the hosting computer. When I stabilize my local development copy (without bug) I upate my hosting production copy Then again I update and stabilize my local development copy ...

That's similar to how I do it.
1. Update local copy from the trunk. 2. Apply the development patch. 3. Test the local copy. If all is okay, then 4. Revert local copy, apply production patch. 5. Deploy local copy to the server. I have a script that does an SVN export, then zips it into a single file. Then I ftp the zipped file to the server and unzip it. -Adrian Eric DE MAULDE wrote: > Hi, > > Do you have a production server working every time (without failure) ? > If an updated version of the trunk contains a bug, what happens ? > > Is the following system realistic ? > I develop with a local copy from the OFBiz Trunk. > *** At once this local copy is my working copy (client) from the > official repository (OFBiz trunk server) > and the server (repository) to my OFBiz production copy in the > hosting computer. > > When I stabilize my local development copy (without bug) > I upate my hosting production copy > Then again I update and stabilize my local development copy > ... > > Thanks > > Eric > > >> Here is the system I use, for what it's worth: >> >> 1.

Maybe we could create a hat page for http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/l http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/8gI in Wiki and add your interesting suggestions below ?

If anyone finds it useful, sure - go ahead.
The funny thing is, when I first got started with OFBiz I didn't ask anyone how they were doing it. I came up with this system on my own, so I don't know if it's good or bad. -Adrian Jacques Le Roux wrote: > Adrian, > > Maybe we could create a hat page for > > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/l > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/8gI > > in Wiki and add your interesting suggestions below ? > > Jacques > > From: "Adrian Crum" <[hidden email]> >> That's similar to how I do it. >> >> 1.

I think Andrew Sykes was doing something very near. I will create a page under the hat page suggested...

In reply to this post by Adrian Crum
Adrian,
When I thought through your method more and under what circumstances I might adopt it I was a little unsure as to whether you do any source control on your own changes other than effectively creating the patch. Personally I like to have my mods committed to a source control system as well so I can see history and manage change etc but wasn't sure if you are doing that and how? I suppose as your custom app is not part of the standard SVN it could be added to another local SVN server...although if you want to get the product version on another machine you've got to checkout a specific trunk revision that you need to document somewhere as well as apply the production patch and checkout the custom app SVN which could be tagged in the local SVN. Sorry Adrian email is rambling a bit as I think aloud. I like your idea as it is certainly simper and as Jacques suggested it's good to add to the list of options people can look at because it's very much an area where people can choose to use a method that suits them or even different for different projects.

The folder that contains our custom code is kept in a local SVN repository.

Re: Best stable version for production ecommerce web site

I like this production/development patching system, I was also looking for
an efficient way to follow ofbiz improvements while keeping my own modifications, great! BTW I find some difficulties working with binary files and patches (sorry if OT); for instance my development patch should add to my working copy the mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar file in the entity lib folder. I cannot make TortoiseSVN patch command to handle this; in the patch file I find: Index: entity/lib/jdbc/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar =================================================================== Cannot display: file marked as a binary type. svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream Property changes on: entity\lib\jdbc\mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar ___________________________________________________________________ Name: svn:mime-type + application/octet-stream Do you think this is something that can be fixed? Or should I go with a batch file that applies the patch for the text files and than add binary files by copying them?
