The only "customization" I do is a patch file that changes settings and
comments out unused applications. There have been a few times where the
files being changed were updated in the trunk and I had to update my
patch file accordingly.
I keep custom applications in the hot-deploy folder - where they are
unaffected by changes to the trunk.
The only upgrade problem I ran into was in the database. Sometimes the
database needs manual work to upgrade table structures or reload seed
data, etc.

Am it to gather by this that you can do a direct SVN update and all your
customization continue to work?
say from 9.04 to 10.04

BJ,
That reply is not very informative. Also, your original message makes a
lot of broad generalizations and it doesn't specify what changes are
causing a problem and why.
If you want things to improve, you will need to be more specific.

I speak not as a voting member of ofbiz but one that has some 50 apps
built on ofbiz.
I doubt if I had know of the way improvements have been implemented
and the work that it would take to upgrade all 50 apps I would have
chose ofbiz.
In short if you ever expect to have ofbiz be a main stay app for
developers you need to be considerate of the time and effort they have
expended to customize and how your "improvements" effect those
efforts.
I did not get into ofbiz to support developers upgrading my
customization because someone thought their way was best before
discussing it in the light of production system.
I got into ofbiz because of the framework basically and a Idea that
what I did would work for along time.
At this point I have some serious thinking to do about the future of
ofbiz in my efforts.
