I don't think requiring people to read cvs logs is a real way to
document changes in the core of an app. I of course could have read
the logs, but I shouldn't have to.
The break occurs because in PG as Vinod pointed out just altering
column widths screws up other stuff. I am not sure that my upgrade
problem was solely because of this but I couldn't upgrade a 4.5
install to 4.6 and ended up doing the dropdb redo it all from
scratch. Of course this was the day of the beta release and some
scripts didn't exist at all.
Just please discuss these changes before they are made as sloanspace
doesn't run the openacs project. And while they may have good
reasons for doing this some discussion should have taken place
publically. If no one can upgrade because of a multitude of problems
(no scripts, difficult to change functionality, etc), then our
audience will just get smaller.
