ofbiz 12.04r1532787: VAT fails in cart/order - so ofbiz 12.04r1532787 fails in the EU

[ofbiz.user]

I really would like to use ofiz in EU, so I need VAT.

How can I find out about this issue?

...after a lot of googling, I found

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-
4160?page=com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin:fisheye-issuepanel

from 08-2011.

How can I get it working?  Is it fixed in the trunk now (which
version?),
can I fix it with that patch (is it tested?)

How can I find out if this issue has been addressed or fixed, if
so, in which revision of which version?

Or do I have to gut the tax system myself in sleepless nights,
submitting changes only to myself?

It's fixed in trunk HEAD, since http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1070830

It's already in all official living releases (R11.04 being the older one)

Please don't speak about sleepless nights, I have more than my share

Dear Jaques,

thanks for your answer.

I double-checked: In fact my sources are based on a 12.04 checkout
from around Oktober 13, not an 11.04.  

So my 12.04 checkout did not contain the patch mentioned.  
I applied the patch and had recognizable progress.  I found further
bugs, but no more showstoppers as to now.

I would like to report my findings, but as we have seen, I do not
measure from the correct baseline; so my problems may be only mine,
greatly irrellevant to ofbiz.

As I am trying to find a base for deployment, I am reluctant to go
for trunk, as the baseline for testing could vanish randomly every
day.  So I
went for 12.04 in 08.2013, because it looked more stable than 13.xx
then.

I would also not be comfortable with randomly updating my
production environment with trunk checkouts.

I do not yet fully understand the development/configuration/release
model of ofbiz, please allow me to ask:

Are there labels for 12.04.01, 12.04.02, 12.04.03, 12.04.04?  (I
observed o "voting" for 12.04.03.  What is it about?)

How can I reproduce these releases?

I only find labels like "12.04" at github.

Which up-to-date label would you recommend as a base for end to end
tests and following production deployment after fixes?

Basically...maybe I lost it: do you even plan on "freezing" a
release, or is a "release" just a snapshot from trunk?

Is a release based on a defined feature set, that is patched up
after release until stable?

What is the difference between 12.04.xx and 13.xx.xx?  

Is the data model stable or compatible in 12.xx?  
On release update steps must I plan for full blown data migration?

Kind regards,

Hi Ofbiz User,

Chances are that the fix is included in r12.04.03 which should be available
any day now, as voting for release has been concluded positively.

This update of the r12.04 branch contains several bug fixes.

Regarding your question about the difference between the 12.x and the 13.x
branches expect at least changes in field type definitions. So be sure to
expect migration issues if you are already using your r12.x setup in some
kind of production configuration,

Regards,

Pierre Smits

This is explained here http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html ("Release Information" section)

Because you are using a  branch not an official release

I personally use trunk but you can now also rely on R13.07

You need to learn more about the Apache way :)
