Descrição

When custom evolutions are carried on independently from the community who drives the development, they produce branches that can be hard to merge back into upstream code. The lecture will analyze current techniques aimed at (1) merging custom evolutions in a disciplined way; (2) assessing if a specific evolution is likely to be problematic; (3) deploying custom evolutions together with upstream products; (4) managing families of custom evolutions.
