Forum OpenACS Development: Has anyone tried to upgrade a 4.6.3 to 5-HEAD?..

1. modified acs-tcl/tcl/security-proc.tcl to use old ad_maybe_return_for_redirect code

2. manually modified ad_locales table:

upg=# alter table ad_locales add column enabled_p            boolean;
upg=# alter table ad_locales alter column enabled_p set default 't';

3. manually created all of acs-authentication tables:

[apopov@vm:~/prj/HEAD/packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql]
<blockquote> psql -f authentication-create.sql upg
</blockquote>

[apopov@vm:~/prj/HEAD/packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql]
<blockquote> psql -f authentication-package-create.sql upg
</blockquote>
[apopov@vm:~/prj/HEAD/packages/acs-authentication/sql/postgresql]
<blockquote> psql -f batch-job-tables-create.sql upg
</blockquote>
[apopov@vm:~/prj/HEAD/packages/acs-authentication/sql/postgresql]
<blockquote> psql -f acs-authentication-create.sql upg
</blockquote>

4. sumlinked acs-authentication/tcl/ to acs-tcl/tcl:
[apopov@vm:~/prj/HEAD/packages/acs-tcl/tcl]
<blockquote> ln -s ../../acs-authentication/tcl/* ./
</blockquote>

5. modifying acs-subsite/lib/login.tcl to comment out lookup of UsePasswordWidgetForUsername

This gets me as far as being able to login (sortof), but fails on cc_users.username in one of the selects...

would you be able to post a patch for the things you've done, so we can incorporate it in the upgrade process? My plan is to test and fix upgrade from 4.6.3 to 5 during the bug bashing festival, so any help you can provide there is highly appreciated.
