Dear developers,
I do not know what policy is used for those who are allowed to actually
commit changes to the CVS, but the current CVS is not working -
neither a fresh install (empty database) nor an php
/maintenance/update.php helps -- A DATABASE ERROR OCCURED create table
user_rights .....
Please allow me to propose, that developers who change the database
structure always submit also a correct module for
/maintenance/updaters.inc and /maintenance/tables.sql, so that other
developers can resume their work on their projects without interruption.
Thank you.
I think I fixed that an hour or two after it was committed. It was a
minor mistake made by another developer, obvious and easily fixed. The
policy as far as I'm concerned is that brief periods of incorrect
behaviour are perfectly acceptable in HEAD, and that anyone who wants to
use HEAD should be prepared for such errors. We don't have time to test
installation after every commit.
