And what happens if processors use different versions? A PANIC
condition or some sort of error?
It would definitely help tracking the source of the problem, though
wouldn't solve the fact that the formats are incompatible. If you
upgraded the binaries to an incompatible version while there were
messages on the store, you won't be able to load them again.
Assuming that the changes are minor (e.g., no new mandatory fields
added) store_tools could be extended to provide some means of
"abstract" file format that could be imported/exported between
versions to help migrate the data (export -> upgrade -> import).

I've made a new kannel utility to be able to manipulate the store

export messages from the store into other formats (it could be used
to
move messages from file to spool and back).
Here's more info and the patch:

Please try it and consider adding it to the test folder so it becomes
part of the main tree.
cool, will have view... thanks Alejandro for the effort. Applause
from the
audience please! :)
Another thing I'd like to raise in this "scope" of the store
subsystem ->
versioning.
At the moment we're pretty incompatible when a store file or spool
is used on an
updates set of binaries, this includes also the inter-box
communication between
bearerbox and smsbox connections if their "msg struct" differ.
I'd like to have this handled more gracefully, i.e. by versioning
the msg struct
with a "magic cookie header", so that the participating processors
of the msg
struct "know" with what they are dealing. I had the magic cookie
header format
as used in the Apache module API in mind.
Any comments, suggestions?
