Re: [development] best pratices, test environment, patch review: clues how to make easier to contribute

If I use Drupal, I've to patch core...

I think that is probably the root of most of your problems

I just would like to know what others think and how they manage their patch/review env when it get more complex.

The key with reviewing patches is to *not* use a complex environment. You have to test and review patches against HEAD. If you want to further test them against your customized version of drupal, then that is a separate task and isn't relevant to getting that patch into core. -Ryan
