Hi friends,
Journal module will be enhanced to allow developers to manage a list of hacks and patches that have been applied to a Drupal site. I'm posting this announcement to devel list, because I guess that many devs are concurrently working on multiple projects, and have created and/or applied various patches to these sites.
The goal is to track all customizations, so there is finally an answer to the question whether Drupal core and contributed modules can be updated easily when a new version is released.
d.o. issue: http://drupal.org/node/254303
To make this feature rock, I could imagine a project_issue and update(_status) module integration:
1) project_issue: Periodically query d.o with a list of issue numbers and update their status in Journal's patch list.
I don't think you'd need integration with the project_issue module per se, but you would need a way to get the status of certain issues. There's already an issue in the pi queue to provide an XML-RPC interface, but there's no patch. I think this is something that would be nice to have, however. Short of that I think you'd just have to scrape the screen for that information, but I don't suspect that would be too difficult. Adam Light
