WARNING TO ALL POSTGRES USERS!

This line in UPGRADING:
UPDATE groups SET instance = instance::text::int where btrim(instance) <> ‘’;

has completely wrecked our Postgres RT installation, by clearing out the
“Instance” field in the Groups table.

I think Jesse means:
UPDATE groups SET instance = instance1::text::int where btrim(instance) <> ‘’;

but I’m not sure.

Moreover, we did not have a timely backup available.

Do not let it happen to you!

Thanks,

It would be useful to have an indication of which files/functions have
changed since the last update. I’ve been caught out by new versions of
functions I replace locally one too many times for my liking.

Thanks.

I agree. The only way to be sure we have all of the enhancements/bug
fixes is to either run diffs on the unmodified files from our current
installation and the unmodified files on the new installation, then make
changes to our local versions or just scrap our local versions and start
over–this however defeats the purpose of having local customized files.

Just a simple list of the files that have changed in each version would
be most helpful.

You just need to look in aegis, there you can look at every change and
see the diffs between the changes.-----Original Message-----

Who what? Please give a little more detail for those of us (i.e. me) who
haven’t the foggiest how to do that. I’ve not even heard of aegis.

Thanks for a practical response, Ruslan, but trying to work out ‘which
files/functions have changed from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7’ from that isn’t so easy.

If I could write a report of ‘which files have been modified since
such-and-such a date’ to run across the data that aegis is reporting, that
would give me what I need, but doing this via the web (or via CVS) isn’t
so simple.

It was just a thought. I can always diff the new version files against my
current version files, but it would be nice not to have to.

John

In aegis click on history.
You will see the changes jesse sends you on every bumping to pres (you
will also see the bumping from one version to the other in the
description column).

I wish such feature too, but now I don’t know any tricks to do such
report. I just do ‘diff -NrubB … …’ on fresh untarred RT tarballs
when I’m going to update. I’ve tried to write script and use BitKeeper
for better merging changes, but my Employer don’t want to know anything
about maintaining RT code so I don’t have time to finish it.

		Good luck. Ruslan.

If you would know how to do date-to-date diff then please write me also :slight_smile:

Would generating patches between stable releases suit your needs? That’s
definitely something we can do.

Really, if you’re making deep changes to any third-party product, you
probably want to be dropping those releases into some sort of revision
control system such as cvs, svn, aegis or bitkeeper to track the deltas.

cvs diff -D doesn’t do what you want?

current version files, but it would be nice not to have to.

Thanks for a practical response, Ruslan, but trying to work out ‘which
files/functions have changed from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7’ from that isn’t so easy.

Another way to do this is:

1- figure out Aegis revision ids for 3.0.6 and 3.0.7

2- :pserver:anoncvs@fsck.com:/raid/tracking-cvs rt.3.0 mirrors all
the aegis changes.

3- use the tagged versions ae<first> ae<second> ass diff points.

If I could write a report of ‘which files have been modified since
such-and-such a date’ to run across the data that aegis is reporting, that
would give me what I need, but doing this via the web (or via CVS) isn’t
so simple.

It’s quite easy in CVS.

Usage: cvs diff [-lR] [-k kopt] [format_options]
[[-r rev1 | -D date1] [-r rev2 | -D date2]] [files…]
-l Local directory only, not recursive
-R Process directories recursively.
-k kopt Specify keyword expansion mode.
-D d1 Diff revision for date against working file.
-D d2 Diff rev1/date1 against date2.
-r rev1 Diff revision for rev1 against working file.
-r rev2 Diff rev1/date1 against rev2.
