1: Planning for OpenACS 5.1.1
Posted by Joel Aufrecht on 06/27/04 02:58 PM
I think it's about time to test and release OpenACS 5.1.1. Here are the changes I'm aware of. Let me know if there are others already in or pending, and if you have time to do some testing.
  • Will be the first release using the newest adjustment to the versioning convention. The OpenACS 5.1.1 tag will apply to OpenACS core as well as to the most recent released version of every package, including .LRN.
  • Translations syncronized with the translation server (Janine has a few more keys to put in)
  • Lots of catalog files modified to fix bug 1519
  • Other bug fixes since 5.1.0: 1785, 1793
  • 57 other files (not help, not catalogs) have changed in core since OpenACS 5.1.0:

	* packages/acs-kernel/sql/oracle/apm-create.sql: Simplifying the
	  cursor in apm.register_parameter to fix a bug, and make it
	  simpler.  Don's doing the PG version.

2004-06-23 20:37  olah

	* www/site-master.tcl: Using site_node::get_package_url to check
	  for mounted curriculum instances, now that it is implemented with
	  an nsv of url keyed by package key. Lars added this back in mars
	  and I hadn't noticed ...

2004-06-21 21:17  janine

	* packages/acs-lang/www/admin/message-list.tcl: query didn't work
	  in oracle (should be in an xql file but at least this will make
	  it work)

2004-06-21 15:18  maltes

	* etc/keepalive/: keepalive-config.tcl, keepalive-cron.sh,
	  keepalive.sh: Added cron support for keepalive

2004-06-19 23:06  janine

	* packages/: acs-kernel/acs-kernel.info,
	  acs-subsite/acs-subsite.info, acs-tcl/tcl/admin-init.tcl: fix
	  from Sloan: allow admin to restrict to registered users on a
	  per-subsite basis

2004-06-19 22:54  janine

	* packages/acs-subsite/www/user/portrait/index.adp: fix from Sloan:
	  only show 'this is what we show other users' message to admins,
	  which includes the user looking at their own portrait

2004-06-16 10:53  maltes

	* packages/acs-service-contract/www/index.tcl: Page broken due to
	  Orphans not having an owner. I took the owner out, if someone
	  disagrees, please fix ...

2004-06-15 17:52  andrewg

	* packages/acs-tcl/tcl/site-nodes-procs.tcl: Fixed a scalability
	  problem in site_node::update_cache

2004-06-15 17:48  andrewg

	*
	  packages/acs-kernel/sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-5.0.0b4-5.0.0b5.sql:
	  Applied Dave's bugfix for \#1419 here to fix the same bug

2004-06-14 19:55  janine

	* packages/acs-tcl/tcl/text-html-procs.tcl: fix from Sloan - 100
	  iterations was not enough in some cases

2004-06-14 19:49  janine

	* packages/acs-tcl/tcl/: rollout-email-init.tcl,
	  rollout-email-procs.tcl: update from Sloan

2004-06-12 16:27  maltes

	  used in a cron environment, where root does not get an email
	  every two minutes

2004-06-11 22:43  janine

	*
	  packages/acs-content-repository/sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-4.6.2-4.6.3.sql:
	  list columns to insert into (fix from Sloan)

2004-06-11 22:42  janine

	*
	  packages/acs-content-repository/sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-4.6.1-4.6.2.sql:
	  merge fix from head

2004-06-10 08:41  maltes

	* etc/config.tcl: Changed the maxinput to 5MB with 1024*1024
	  syntax. Added recvwait parameter.

2004-06-08 10:52  maltes

	  allows OpenACS parameter to kick in more effectively. See
	  https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=161698

2004-06-07 18:56  jeffd

	*
	  packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql/upgrade/upgrade-5.0d2-5.0d3.sql:
	  do not create the cc_users_of_package_id view since we dont
	  create application_users view anymore so its not used

2004-06-02 18:26  lars

	* packages/acs-tcl/tcl/: acs-permissions-procs.tcl,
	  security-procs.tcl: Fixed bug when bumping to login page from
	  within permission_p, but permission_p was called form within
	  ad_get_login_url, which is the proc that determines which login
	  page to use

2004-06-02 01:24  donb

	* packages/acs-content-repository/: acs-content-repository.info,
	  sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-4.7d6-5.0d1.sql,
	  sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-5.1.0-5.1.1.sql,
	  sql/oracle/upgrade/upgrade-5.1.1-5.1.2.sql,
	  sql/postgresql/upgrade/upgrade-5.1.1-5.1.2.sql: I'd accidently
	  changed some old upgrade files to use edit_name rather than
	  rename (for Oracle 9.2) and had not added the needed upgrade
	  files for 5.1.

2004-06-01 17:35  peterm

	* packages/acs-subsite/www/admin/: parties/new.tcl, users/new.tcl:
	  Making call to relation_add (on pages parties/new and users/new)
	  not use the form_id and variable_prefix switches as doing so
	  would make package_instantiate_object look for a rel_id in the
	  form which wasn't there. This is analogous to fix in version 1.5
	  of groups/new.

2004-05-31 20:51  gabrielb

	* packages/acs-lang/tcl/: lang-util-procs-oracle.xql,
	  lang-util-procs-postgresql.xql, locale-procs.tcl: - There's no
	  consistent use of upper/lower case in the locale and language
	  columns of the ad_locales table so we need to do case insensitive
	  searches.  - ad_locales defines the language column as char(3).
	  Searches for 2-letter   language codes fail because (at least on
	  PG) all 2-letter entries have a   trailing space in the database.

2004-05-31 19:28  gabrielb

	* packages/acs-templating/tcl/spellcheck-init.tcl: Handle instances
	  where ad_locales does not contain the 2-letter language being
	  sought.

2004-05-28 19:08  jader

	* packages/acs-kernel/acs-kernel.info: Removed a security hole in
	  new installations: see:
	  https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=187394

2004-05-26 22:51  tils

	* packages/acs-lang/www/admin/message-usage-include.tcl: The 'Show
	  files that use this message' functionality used to also find keys
	  like acs-kernel.foo_bar when searching for acs-kernel.foo, fixed.
	  Not touching the acs-lang.localization-* lookups because I don't
	  know how to test this.

2004-05-26 21:10  donb

	* packages/acs-content-repository/sql/postgresql/:

	  sql/postgresql/content-folder.sql,
	  sql/postgresql/content-item.sql, sql/postgresql/content-test.sql,
	  www/doc/api/folder.html, www/doc/api/item.html: Fixed Bug #1858:
	  qualifying "rename" works in 8i bug chokes in 9i causing the
	  reported error on installation.   Fixed by changing the name to
	  "edit_name" and implemented it for PG as well (to keep names
	  similar)

	* packages/acs-templating/tcl/date-procs.tcl: Trim leading zeros
	  since month_data is keyed by month number without leading zero,

To reduce ambiguity.. 

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co -r oacs-5-1 openacs-4

Torben, I also wouldn't use openacs-4 as your checkout module, unless you really do want everything.

The upgrade docs are pretty good about this now. But I also look forward to Joel's answer.

Two items are currently blocking OpenACS 5.1.1. First, acs-content-repository is already at 5.1.2. This is not supposed to happen, because acs-core is supposed to be released monolithically. One solution would be to bump everything else in core up to 5.1.2 and skip 5.1.1. The other solution is to move acs-content-repository back to 5.1.1 and change the one relevant upgrade file from upgrade-5.1.1-5.1.2.sql to upgrade-5.1.1d2-5.1.1d3.sql. Anybody have a problem with this? I think it means that people who are keeping current with oacs-5-1 will end up running this script twice, but it's a create-or-replace so that shouldn't be a problem.

The second thing is that I ran into a problem testing upgrade, which I have filed as bug 1951. It can be worked around by restarting the server, if necessary.

Torben:

Yes.  If you are developing, you must work from a branch checkout, not a tag.  So you should be working from oacs-5-1 because, since it is a release branch for core, shouldn't be broken (much).  If there is a blocking bug in core, you can simply pin the core modules to the last release (with cvs up -r openacs-5-1-0-final acs-kernel etc, for example).

The point about the OpenACS 5.1.1 tag applying across all packages is only meaningful for developers who are forking from OpenACS.  For the last year or two, there hasn't been a single tag that applies across all OpenACS packages.  This kind of tag is useful for 1) getting freestanding sites into source control and 2) making patches for your forked system.  We had a tag for core, and a tag for .lrn, but no tag for standard packages which are required for .lrn but not in core, or for any non-core, not-.lrn packages.  The OpenACS 5.1.1 tag will be applied to the most recent released version of everything on the oacs-5-1 branch (ie, I'll release 5.1.1 core, tag it oacs-5-1-compat, then check out oacs-5-1-compat, and then tag everything openacs-5-1-1-final).  The point of jumping through the compat hoop, instead of just tagging the HEAD of oacs-5-1 as openacs-5-1-1-final, is that anybody who gets this tag or a tarball from it will be getting only released packages, not in-development packages.
