Maintaining own Drupal project with Ingres specific mods?

[jason_d_becker]

Hi All,

I am wondering how to maintain an up-to-date Drupal install with Ingres modifications. What I mean by that is most of us will have our own Drupal projects in version control and commit Drupal updates to our projects as they are released. The Ingres Drupal repository available here is at 6.17 whereas Drupal 6.19 is out and 6.18 contained a number of security fixes. I'm not finger pointing, I'm just highlighting a maintenance issue.

So what I'm attempting to do is add/replace Ingres Drupal specific files to our existing Drupal project. I made pretty good progress with adding/replacing the following four files:

- ../includes/install.ingres.inc
- ../includes/database.ingres.inc
- ../includes/install.inc
- install.php

But what I'd like to know is: Is there a list of files that I should be aware about? I can diff away I suppose but that is cumbersome and I'm hoping for an authoritative list. Is there some other way to package these files and notify people of changes to these files?

Hope there are others out there interested in Ingres and Drupal!

Cheers

Hi Jason,

The ideal situation would be for you to get your changes back in to the Drupal CVS server. Since they are busy getting version 7 ready I'm not sure they'd be interested in taking changes for 6.x. That said we can grant you commit access to apps - Revision 997: /drupal so you can publish your changes along with any updates you make for 6.x.

From what I've seen of the Drupal/Ingres code I don't believe there are additional files that need changing so you should be good with the 4 you mention.
