[Phpwebsite-developers] RC3 Close

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Hello all,

I have been testing the new version of phpWebSite. The plan is to enable
updating from this point on. It needs more testing before ready.

Here's the thing. I changed Boost. It has a new table that it uses to
update modules and the core. Can you guess the side effect? To update RC2,
you need that table. Without the table, boost can't help you and boost
updates boost. Still following me?

So after fiddling around with it, I think the best thing to do would be to
ship a crutch file with RC3 (probably just a DB dump). I could (and have
in testing) written boost to kludge around its absence but that would be a
bunch of sloppy code that would never be used after final release anyway.

So this next version should install as normal and be ready to update.
However, with a few helpers, you should also be able to update RC2 just so
you can see how it will work in the future.

Tonight's CVS may be a little shakey but should be better in the morning.

More tomorrow.
Matt
