[Koha] Koha: changing opac-tmpl/prog/en/xsl/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl

[Ian Walls]

Linda,


The project is still being spec'ed out... I hope it would be ready for Koha
3.6, if the funding details all work out.

In the meantime, I'd recommend using Git to track any changes you need
made.  This works best on a dev installation from Git, but could be applied
to production installations as well.  You'd need to create a branch based
off your current codebase, make the change, commit it, and then periodically
rebase or merge as you upgrade your code.

Are you by any chance going to the KUDOS conference in Madison, WI next
week?  I'm doing a presentation on just this subject, approaching it both
from the theoretical end (what is this version control system doing?) and
the practical end (do these commands in this order).  I'll of course be
sharing my slides after the conference, if you're unable to make it.

Cheers,


-Ian
