Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/29597 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/29597 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: drumm Reported by: drumm Updated by: sepeck Status: patch (ready to be committed) If that is so and we do, then we will need to make sure that packages for the major core releases are available and that we provide a nice set of instructions for people on the update.php page regarding this. sepeck Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 01:05:17 +0000 : drumm Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/update.php_1.diff (3.65 KB) We can get rid of all this since the associated pre-4.5 updates aren't there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 01:37:33 +0000 : sepeck In the last two weeks we have had two people in #drupal-support asking about 4.3 and 4.4 to 4.6 upgrades. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 02:01:36 +0000 : kbahey For what its worth, I upgraded a site from 4.4.2 to 4.6.3 a few days ago. It was a circa Sept 2003 release of Drupal. Of course I did it first on a test install with the old data and old version. I had to go incrementally and see where it fails, and go create them manually (or add columns, or insert roles, ...etc.), and continue. It took some time but was successful in the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 05:02:59 +0000 : chx It's a go. You know why? Because you can't jump versions anyways. It just won't work. So, we need to keep updates for one version only IMO.
