Is there a way to keep custom code separate from the default so that it is not lost when I upgrade to a new version? For example, I made extensive changes to sync2ldap in User.pm so it would work correctly with my setup. How can those changes survive upgrades without having to rewrite the code in the newer files? Thanks, Tyler Hepworth

Use diff/patch, they are meant for managing these. There are a number of GUIs out there to manage them. See http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/ for a multi-plattform-GUI. What are your changes? Perhaps we can integrate them into future OTRS releases. Regards, Robert Kehl -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Tel. +49 (0)6172 4832388

Have you heard about the "arch"? It is an alternative to CVS with the promise to ease off trunk development while beeing able to track the trunk by means of a so called "star merge". http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/arch.html
What are your changes? Perhaps we can integrate them into future OTRS releases.
Later on it also features easy reintegration of these off trunk developments. I am currently trying this out, by first mirroring the current CVS into an "main" ARCH repository. Regards, Roland
