Availability of modules for newer versions of Drupal

Subscribe. This would be a handy feature.

I was just about to post this same request, too.

It's *really* cheezy, but I just added this for myself:

Copy update_status folder to upgrade_status.
Rename update_status.* inside to upgrade_status (css, module, info, install)
Search & replace UPDATE for UPGRADE and update for upgrade (case sensitive!) in all those files.
In upgrade_status.module, change the top define from5.x to 6.x, and the URL below back to http://updates... (because you just search & replaced it).
I also pulled out the drupal.org version info from upgrade_status.info so that update_status didn't moan.

One Upgrade Status module :-)

It seems to work for me...

You don't get any advice on whether the module is now redundant, of course, and nothing at all for the ones that Update Status couldn't help with previously.

subscribing. would be very useful.

That's actually a cool idea!
I'd love to be able to do an audit of the modules I'm now using to see whether it's a good idea to push a few leftover ones forward and just go!

The problem is that it'd sort of suck to add this functionality in the D5 version, which we then can't add to the D6 version since it's a new feature. :( I guess we could move the code into Update advanced for D6 contrib, and see if we can get it into D7 core...

So, what's the UI really going to look like? Mockups please. Patches welcome if you're up for it. I'm not fundamentally opposed, but I have no time to work on this and it's not particularly itchy for me. ;)

Cheers,

Subscribe , That's a very useful feature.

AnotherHowie - That would be nice if you could upload your modified version here. :)

sun already forked update_status to provide this functionality as a new stand-alone contrib module:
http://drupal.org/project/upgrade_status
So, I guess the train has left the station on this. No longer my problem. ;)
