Another way to track separate trees on CVS

If you're not as good at CVS as you should be, you end up doing things like this..

I've developed project-manager, and at work, we have a lot of customizations for it. I want to keep these separate from the pure version, which I'm releasing for OpenACS. However, I want to work off of my customized verison, and move those changes over the the pure version.

If I was using Arch, this would be fairly easy. If I was really good at CVS, this might also be really easy (although everyone tells me CVS doesn't handle this very well). I believe you'd use vendor branches.

But a easy to understand way to do it is to do development off on my customized version, and do

cvs diff -Nu > patchfile

and then in my release version

patch -p0 < patchfile

That seems to work fine so far for me.

Nice words for project-manager [openacs.org]

Richard Hamilton called my project-manager package for OpenACS, a work of art! Wow, thanks, Richard!

I think it still needs a lot of work!

Using richtext

In OpenACS, if you have context and the mime_type, you can get the HTML to display as follows:

set richtext_list [list $description $mime_type]

set description [template::util::richtext::get_property html_value $richtext_list]
