Unfortunately yes :-(

I went through all the remaining bugs, fixed the easy ones and 
reconsidered the priority (I have to abuse this field since SF doesn't 
offer a severity field). 

Every bug that is rated with priority 5 or lower is not release 
critical.

I also had a quick look at the feature requests and patches - nothing 
that is a must-have for 2.2.

This means that the 3 bugs listed below are the remaining blockers:


The MySQL database creation is (still) broken :-(
(overlong index key because of utf8)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1828857&group_id=191583&atid=937964

We also have some utf8 vs. latin1 problems:
(Note: mail adresses should be stored as latin1 always)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1828870&group_id=191583&atid=937964

There's also a problem with a possibly invalid query in upgrade.php that 
might be caused by foreign keys: (I need to check the details)

To answer your question in the subject: In fact _I_ am the release 
blocker, because I didn't have time to fix the MySQL issues yet :-(
My plan is:
- fetch the DATABASE_MYSQL.TXT from SVN r1 (!)
- place it in upgrade.php at the correct position (upgrade_5)
- fix the remaining problems in upgrade_3xx (aka current SVN revision)

Since we have to handle some (charset) changes via upgrade.php anyway to 
fix these bugs, moving the table creation to it doesn't make a real 
difference.

I don't know how good your MySQL knownledge is - if you say "good" now, 
feel free to do the needed changes if you are faster ;-)

> i.e. Could we release 2.2.0 with what's in svn currently?

Only for users with an existing database - upgrade should work ;-)

Yes. 
(And I'm annoyed by the fact that it can't simply be configured to use 
the latest release - it has to be changed each time manually :-/ )
