patch process

[Chris Snow-3]

I'm not quite sure of the proper process for extending ofbiz.

I have extended the party component, changing editcontactmech.ftl and
Contact.ftl

Should I create a patch with these changes and put the patch in
mycomponents patch folder?  Do I then need to re-apply the patch every
time I do an update from svn?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

Have a look at  *-ofbiz-patches targets in hot-deploy/vinops/build.xml
It's well explained at http://markmail.org/message/4mmgumepxjopmntu
