[drupal-devel] Drupal.org: disabled old releases
At the security mailing list we have decided not to support Drupal 4.4.x and below anymore (Drupal 4.4.0 was released almost 1.5 year ago.) Only the Drupal 4.5 and Drupal 4.6 release series will be supported. As such, we disabled the Drupal "< 4.5 downloads" on drupal.org. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

This is actually a problem for people who still run old code and want to upgrade. =:) I think we should consider to offer "upgrade packs", ie Drupal tarballs without the parts that are not needed, ie most modules, and of course the xml-rpc stuff. I just met somebody on #drupal who needs to upgrade from 4.2... Cheers, Gerhard

Yes, but it doesn't work. Some upgrades depend on functions that have been later removed.
Hm, then maybe it's dead code and should be removed?

I proposed that once, but I am too lazy to search for the issue. Some people argued that they need the old updates as examples for new ones... Cheers, Gerhard

Oh come on there are umphtillion updates anyways.
If people run such old code and want to upgrade, its too bad for them, but then they must simply learn some CVS. IMNSHO. Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ]
