Forum OpenACS Development: oacs-4-6-1-beta1 tagged.

Posted by Jeff Davis on 01/28/03 05:30 PM

I have tagged the code for the 4.6.1 beta release. My plans for testing are:

Check installs on oracle and postgres
Check the upgrade scripts work properly
mount and test the packages with non-trivial changes.

The code is currently available with the tag oacs-4-6-1-b1 and I will be creating a tarball for it tonight and will post when that is available.

I would ask anyone with changes to commit on the 4.6 branch (other than bugfixes) to be careful not to commit anything that will not be production ready by the end of the week.

I can confirm that oacs-4-6-1-b1 can be installed on PG 7.3.1...

It may install, but I believe all the date-time packages will be hosed. Can someone check this?

I tried to install these packages:

acs-datetime
acs-events
acs-reference
ref-language
ref-timezones
ref-us-states
ref-countries
ref-us-counties
ref-currency
ref-us-zipcodes

It bombed on "Reference Data - Language 0.1d".

psql:ref-language-create.sql:41: ERROR:  Function acs_reference__new("unknown", "unknown", "unknown", "unknown", timestamptz) does not exist
	Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument types

Exactly what I expected. 7.3 and 7.2 aren't time compatible.
I don't know what the fix is for now.

Jon, Ola,

the fix is to change the data type of the last argument in the declaration of acs_reference__new from timestamp to 'timestamptz'. This fix has been comitted to the 4.6 branch of the openacs CVS.

timestamptz does exist in PG 7.2, I just checked.

If we change all "timestamp" occurences in the source to "timestamptz" then PG 7.3 should work the same as PG 7.2, and the rewriting Jon and I have alluded to shouldn't be necessary.

But ... THIS NEEDS TO BE TESTED ...
