We found some trouble updating and we decided to go back to 4.6. The main reason for upgrading was the possibility of handling tavon's 4.7 web theme, but just right now tavon and I we have been chatting in #guadec and he says he can backport his theme to 4.6 while Drupal 4.7 gets stable (now it's a beta 4). So, we keep the 4.6, will apply the new web theme on it (hopefully with the new logo, next week) and will implement all the core functionality on this versions (included the registration). Devin, thanks for your offer of having a loo to the upgrade locally, but as you see we will leave this for later. You can have party tonight. ;) The log: qgil: hi tavon qgil: we have tried today to upgrade to 4.7 but we found some problems tavon: hi qgil qgil: so we went back to 4.6 tavon: yeah... 4.7 is pretty unstable qgil: Devin is going to emulate the upgrade locally to see what is going on tavon: lots of bugs... i'm running beta4 for drupal korea and it's keeping us busy qgil: ah, good to know qgil: meybe we should wait then tavon: the changes in the theme to make it 4.6 compatible is very minimal qgil: then... tavon: I haven't used any 4.7 "features" qgil: then if you don't mind we can apply your theme sooner qgil: it would be good to have it next week, after the logo is finally decided qgil: it's not a requirement, just a suggestion :) tavon: then i'll start working on it next week tavon: monday? qgil: just when you can tavon: how should I coordinate with you? tavon: i have a local install to test and make improvements javi ha sortit de la sala (quit: Ping timeout: 600 seconds). qgil: I think it could be as easy as having your theme installed optionally tavon: It's being kept track in my local SVN repository tavon: okay qgil: so users jkeep seeing the current while we can test the new one qgil: when it's tested and functional, we switch tavon: how often should I send you an updated version? tavon: is email the primary option? qgil: email, here... tavon: I can setup a SVN repository where you can download it directly to the server qgil: as you wish tavon: I think I'll do that qgil: I don't want to give you more work than you want to handle :) tavon: I appreciate that tavon: there's still lots to do to make GUADEC.org "nice" tavon: such as custom blocks and custom pages qgil: i know, i know.... :) qgil: this is why I thouhgt moving to 4.7 could be a good idea, to strt implementing the new stuff in the "final" version qgil: but if it's still so unstable... tavon: yeah... there are several show stoppers such as comments not working properly and such tavon: it's hit and miss right now tavon: I would recommend waiting another couple months before rolling it out to production qgil: well, reading the drupal forum it just seems kind of work already :) tavon: well, almost everything does work indeed tavon: just various bugs here and there tavon: I don't mind 4.7 tavon: as I think it gives us the opportunity to help out drupal by submitting bug reports/issues at the least qgil: I would like to go through this way - if I'm not the only admin :) qgil: there is another thing tavon: I'm only the "Design Guy" tavon: yeah qgil: as Drupal is being tested as possible platform for gnome.org tavon: right qgil: I don't know if it's good to have more functionality if it's unstable qgil: it gives a (reasonable) image of unstability to gnomites at gnome-web-list following guadec's advances tavon: it still going to be a while, at least after GUADEC before gnome.org is updated isn't it? 4.7 is going to be stable by June I'd imagine qgil: maybe it's better to go slowly and taking care of the details tavon: right tavon: ahhh qgil: and most of the current concerns are related to issues that at the very end are handled by the theme qgil: the gnome.org revamp is going to take a while, yes tavon: I'm not sure guadec.org is going to benefit much from 4.7 improvements such as freetagging and other stuff.... mostly they're backend improvements qgil: flexiblock can be cool, though tavon: by sticking with 4.6, you're not going to lose much functionality... and flexinode is in 4.6 isn't it? tavon: flexiblock tavon: i mena tavon: mean* qgil: I also was thinkign about impressing users with some google map stuff ;) qgil: but Vilanova is not precisely mapped tavon: right tavon: i haven't checked out the google map stuff qgil: anyway qgil: it's better to have a solid site tavon: i agree tavon: the upgrade to 4.7 is not going to be hard i believe tavon: and the added features can be added as we go qgil: yes qgil: good, then qgil: let's keep working for 4.6 tavon: okay tavon: I have to go to work now qgil: ok, tanks for the conversation :) tavon: np :) tavon: later En/na Quim Gil ha escrit: > Devin and me are upgrading drupal to 4.7 right now -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
