Hi, And since I created that issue I have had working code for Drupal 5 and above. umm... ok? It's cool that you got working for all three. Soon enough there are going to be 4.
The only time the update.php script is changed in during the major Drupal updates. ie from Drupal 5 to drupal 6. All the other changes are in the install files. Just because a problem happens only once in a while doesn't mean that it isn't a problem
Drupal already have an update api, which is a part of the install files attached to every module. My goal with the issue I raised is to create a minimize the common code between the 2 and allow the updates to be done from either method.
Yes I agree with you that the goal and I hope that we can maybe work together on this. The current problems that I see are three: 1. Major upgrades, i.e from drupal 5 to 6 to 7 (to 8?). 2. Even though your script works, a lot of energy is required to re-create or change it. 3. Duplicate code between the two update scripts (web and cli) but an update.inc could resolve this.
Gordon.
