2. The coder module provides assistance with upgrading a module. If you can help Doug Green make sure that the module works well, then that limits the amount of pain for contrib authors during upgrade. http://drupal.org/project/coder
We really have spent a considerable amount of time making coder really useful for the 5.x -> 6.x upgrade. I used it this weekend to upgrade about a dozen modules in just a couple hours. I discovered a few more FAPI like changes that bit me, which I then wrote coder rules for. These new rules will make your upgrade/debugging process easier. Coder isn't going to catch everything. But it embodies the collective wisdom from the upgrade documentation as well as other's experiences on common gotcha's. The biggest thing that coder won't catch for you is all the E_ALL changes. You'll just need to run your module through it's paces to find those. -- Doug Green douggreen@douggreenconsulting.com 904-583-3342 Bringing Ideas to Life with Software Artistry and Invention...
