Hello,
May I request to use a distributed version control system (monotone, DARCS, mercurial, bazaar-ng etc.) when the code base is switched over to Apache?
Problem:
OFBiz is a fast changing project and expected to maintain its pace for the next year or so. A “significant” customization of OFBiz may require multiple engineers, significant development time, and need for maintaining local changes in a version control system. If such an effort chooses to develop from a snapshot of OFBiz, it is likely to miss out on constant improvements and may require a large “merge” effort eventually. If the effort chooses to be in sync with OFBiz constantly (like me), then local version control becomes very difficult.
Solution:
The so-called distributed version control systems allow local repositories, local changes, and sync capabilities with the main repository. There are many such open-source products and I can help investigate the best option.
The catch:
None of them have a “complete” Eclipse plugin or a GUI mode. DARCS has a very primitive eclipse plugin but not sure where that effort is headed.
Regards,
Vinay Agarwal
