Talk:Module sqldiff File

Since version numbers are used to decide when to apply diffs, we should define the convention — i.e., valid pattern(s) — for version numbers (e.g., 1.01.14 vs. 1.5 vs. 1.01-alpha). -Burke 14:30, 8 January 2007 (EST)

I consciously left this vague. However, I think the algorithm will have a problem with 1.5.1 < 1.6 . I was assuming people wouldn't want to put characters into the sqldiff version number... -Ben 15:19, 8 January 2007 (EST)

Well, this wiki is currently running MediaWiki: 1.6.1, with PHP 5.1.2 (apache2handler) and MySQL 5.0.18-nt. I'm not sure it's safe to assume that people won't end up making versions like 1.0.14a if we don't state it explicitly. I figure it's safest just to explicitly say we accept only versions matching /\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)?/ (or something like that). This applies to all of our versioning (modules, forms, code, etc.). Then again, for the near future, we are the only people...so no rush. -Burke 15:42, 8 January 2007 (EST)

Make a ticket and it'll be done -Ben 11:38, 12 January 2007 (EST)
