Please release 6.x-beta3, as it is not possible to upgrade to Drupal-7.x if uuid-6.x-beta2 is installed

c.f. #1469942: Need a uuid_update_7102 function to make database adjustments now done by uuid_install

From above-referenced issue:

When following the procedure in Drupal core's UPGRADE.txt, and upgrading from the recommended release of uuid, 6.x-beta2, dated 2010-Sep-08, the upgrade fails when updatedb attempts to run the update uuid_6004. Starting the upgrade over, and fist advancing uuid to version uuid-6.x-dev, dated 2012-Feb-14 (effectively running update 6004 and 6005 on Drupal 6 prior to the Drupal 7 upgrade), then the upgrade succeeds.

Generally, users are expected to update contrib modules to the latest stable release prior to upgrade. Pushing out a Beta-3 release would make the upgrade process much smoother and more obvious for uuid users.

@recidive Do we have anything holding a new beta release back? I haven't been involved in the 6.x branch, so I don't know.

Hello, I'd like some of these critical issues to be fixed before that:

If some of them are not really critical, please comment on the issue and change it to major or normal according.

Thanks.

Still hoping for a 6.x-1.0-beta3 release. I made the following modifications to the issues that were coming up in the search link in #4 today:

• #1236768: Create missing UUIDs admin option fails in current 6.x-1.x git repo version: Tested and found working: set status to 'reviewed and tested'.
• #1261196: node_get_by_uuid should not pass query through db_rewrite_sql: Has a patch that is reported to be working, but a rewrite using db_select() was requested. Recommended reducing priority to 'major' so that it may be fixed after the beta3 release.
• #1149546: Please release 6.x-beta3, as it is not possible to upgrade to Drupal-7.x if uuid-6.x-beta2 is installed: Reports an issue where an analysis tool (schema module) is reporting a defect. However, there does not seem to be any adverse effect from the "incorrect" schema, and no patch has been submitted five months after the initial report. Recommended reducing priority to 'minor'.

I would like to recommend that #1236786 be committed, and a beta3 release be made with the code that is ready for release. The upgrade path from Drupal-6 to Drupal-7 is broken under 6.x-1.0-beta2, and it would be great to see the already-committed fix for this go out.

for what it's worth, when using 6.x-1.0-beta2+14 i was NOT able to generate about 2000 Node UUIDs and node revision UUIDs via the web interface but fortunately the drush command got those created. I'm not sure where to throw this but figured it might help someone.

UUID 6.0-1.0-rc2 has been released.
