Forum OpenACS Development: upgrade scripts ready

I've finished touching up the upgrade scripts for the following packages:

• acs-content-repository
• acs-events
• acs-kernel
• acs-mail
• acs-service-contract
• bookmarks
• faq
• file-storage
• news
• search

I've tested the PG version of these scripts on 7.2.3 and they seem to work. I've also bumped the .info files of the changed packages to 4.6.

The only packages that still need upgrade scripts are calendar, cms, ecommerce and wp-slim. I'm probably not going to be able to get to those, so hopefully someone more familiar with those packages will write 'em if they're needed.

I'll plan on committing this tomorrow night if there is no objection.

The upgrade scripts are only for datamodel changes. I just basically did a diff between a 4.5 checkout and a 4.6 checkout. It looks like the cal_item_types table is new in 4.6, as is a new foreign key reference to that table in cal_items. The dates on those changes look like they are from March through July 2002.

It may be that calendar was not in a usable state in 4.5, so an upgrade script might not be absolutely needed if no-one is using a 4.5 version of calendar. I don't know though, so I left it alone 😊

Calendar doesn't seem to be working in 4.5. I just came back into the OpenACS "fold" after a long hiatus (woohoo!), and finished setting up a 4.5 server (release tarball) this weekend for my home site. I was intending to play with calendar; it installs, but it breaks when attempting to add an event. So I'm guessing no one is using it. I may go in and fix some of the bugs for my site, but I don't think it's being used in general.
