Description
Any plans to port this to Drupal 6?

#1
When the politicker network upgrades to D6, which probably won't be for atleast another month or two. Patches always welcome though.
#2
Here are some patches for d6. Needs multisite_api module from here: http://drupal.org/node/240533 There is also an attached module for people who don't work with patches. Menu system has been tested. There is an issue with the layout with the update menu, but other menu's look fine.
#3
Awesome. I will attempt to review these on a long flight I have on Monday.
#4
I just tried this and working fine only in the site update section there's no select forms for each site, same for the update section
#5
Running into an issue with the 6x test release. It calls "update_data()" in the chunk of code copied from update.php - however, in 6x that function has been retooled into "update_do_one()" and requires a third parameter where results will be returned (instead of returning a boolean).
#6
I'm currently working on getting all the bugs sorted out before I think about D6. Which is proving to be a bit of a pain since this module is trying to make core do something that it wasn't designed to do. Also for that reason I'm considering NOT making a D6 version since there are other tools which do the same thing, only better, namely
http://drupal.org/project/drush
and
http://acquia.com/blog/drupal-cli-utils
Another possibility would be to move it to a command-line tool that would integrate with drush and the Multisite API?
#7
Having a user interface is better I think, since most users will never use command-line, drupal definitely needs something like this for multi-site maintenance. These other modules you mentioned are for adv drupal code geeks.
#8
I have no plans to work further on this module. If you are running so many sites that this concept would be useful for you, you really need to learn tools like Drush.
This module is looking for a new maintainer.
#9
Anyone been able to get this working? I'm happy to take over maintenance from here, send me patches, if you've got them, otherwise, I'll try to have a hack at it soon
#10
I need this too. Or the GODDAMN command line...
