You have two choices: firstly, try and make your modifications into plugins, which are far easier to maintain separately from the main code; secondly, modify the main source in as few locations as possible and make patches. My experience is that patches can often be applied to later versions of the code with no modification. You may need a combined stratetgy: most of your code in plugins with some small patches to help integrate them (e.g. provide the right hooks). -- Bruce It is impolite to tell a man who is carrying you on his shoulders that his head smells.
