Description

What's the status of the 5.x version really now?

"5.x-0.1-beta" doesn't inspire much confidence, and the text regarding the "5.x-0.x-dev" release isn't very encouraging either.

I think problems with upgrade from 4.7 require a big fat warning in the project description and the readme, but imho they should not prevent a generally consumable 1.0 (or 1.x) release to happen.

Agreed. Sorry, there's just way too much work for me to do, and this has continued to languish. It's now near the top of my radar.

Here's my current plan:

  • The crappy upgrade path will only effect a relatively small # of sites.
  • I'll just add an UPGRADE.txt about it, and mention it on the project page, and release notes for the 5.x-1.0 release. I'll commit UPGRADE.txt to both DRUPAL-4-7--2 and HEAD.
  • All of the above will point to http://drupal.org/node/163616, a handbook page I just wrote outlining the upgrade hell and who's effected by it.
  • Once UPGRADE.txt is in, and some of the other active bugs in the queue are resolved, we'll just make an official 5.x-1.0 release and a DRUPAL-5 branch.
  • HEAD will then become a 5.x-2.* development area for a little while, before we start porting to D6.

A) Copy of UPGRADE.txt attached here for review (it'll be named UPGRADE.txt in the project directly, I just renamed it for attaching it to this issue).

B) Any objections to the plan?

C) Any feedback on that handbook page?

Thanks!
-Derek

Ok, the latest 3 are all committed to their respective directories (on HEAD), and then branched to DRUPAL-4-7--2. Now we just need edits (probably only needed for project/UPGRADE.txt) to talk about the 4.7.x-* to 5.x-1.0 upgrade path (which says "if you're running 4.7.x-1.*, upgrade to 4.7.x-2.* first; if you're at 4.7.x-2.*, upgrade is trivial").

In addition to the UPGRADE.txt edits, here's my current list of issues I'd like to see fixed before the 5.x-1.0 release: http://groups.drupal.org/node/5448

Patch against UPDATE.txt in HEAD for the 5.x-1.* upgrade instructions.

Also, FYI, see http://drupal.org/node/163616 for the handbook page on upgrade details for 4.7.x-1.* to 4.7.x-2.*.
