Ever tried to keep SugarCRM under version control? It’s a nightmare! Upgrading and keeping things in sync is just a headache. If you wanted to upgrade SugarCRM and keep those little core hacks that you have had to make to ensure Sugar works the way you need it to… it’s hellish!
Until I stumbled over this post. It’s a new way of working with SugarCRM and SVN that really works well. I’m in the middle of upgrading our sugar instance from version 5.2.0c to 6.0.1 and so far no problems! I’ll comment when I’m done and let you know any problems I came across!
This is useful for my assignment. Thanks you
As a quick heads up… be careful with SVN and making sure your entire trunk tree is clean from modifications etc. This caused me several problems.
Also do take the time to test any upgrades you make especially if you have some custom modules installed. The upgrader in SugarCRM does not take into account modules and several modules are not compatible with the most recent version of SugarCRM. This took me a considerable amount of time to figure out. We ended up upgrading to the most recent but one module rather than the most recent as our installed modules were not compatible.
