[Phpwiki-talk] PearDB consistency: pending cvs rename will break CVS snapshot for one day

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

I just submitted an sf.net CVS rename request, which will most likely 
break the nightly CVS snapshot and the demo and test site for this one 
day. (If I cannot fix it before midnight)
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=987179&group_id=1&atid=200001

* cd lib/WikiDB/backend
* rename the four PearDB $backend_type.php files to PearDB_$backend_type.php
* rename the classnames to have the "WikiDB_backend_PearDB_" prefix

Rationale:
lib/WikiDB/backend has for historical reasons the PearDB (=SQL), ADODB 
and the other supported backends (file, dba, cvs) as single files.
PearDB just includes its specializers with the name ($backend_type, e.g. 
mysql.php).
ADODB came after that and does it right, using ADODB_$backend_type.php.
The specializer should have its base class in the filename (and the 
class name also). ADODB does it right, PearDB not.

Affected Files:
mysql.php, sqlite.php, oci8.php and pgsql.php

Required source changes:
rename the classnames
fix the loader in lib/WikiDB/SQL.php.

Required developer changes:
#wait for the cvs rename
#wait for the source changes
cd lib/WikiDB/backend
cvs up

I think this will happen in about two days.
burley has about 25 pending tracker requests, and fixes about 10 per day.

But with the recent file release problems it can last longer also
("FRS issue"), though regs is supposed to handle this.
