[Phpgroupware-users] Customization VS updates

[Charles Martin]

Hi all !

   I'm just inquiring here about "best practices" around the 
PhpGroupware package. How do you guys deal with all the updates/security 
fixes when you're running a customized install ? I know in theory I 
should have just built a theme and tweaked some conf files but the 
reality is much different. I had to modify most class.something.inc.php 
files for some reasons (php5 compat, php printing some html code, custom 
logic etc.) so it would be a giant mess to track all these changes and 
put them all back into a more up to date version of phpgw. Are you all 
"courageous" enough to go through the merge process every once in a 
while or are the installs mostly static once they're up and running?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

BTW : For now, we're using SVN to track our local changes here if it is 
of any help
