--- Comment #2 from Aryeh Gregor <simetrical+wikib...@gmail.com> 2011-05-05 22:44:46 UTC --- Specifically, for most updates we don't need to log anything in updatelog -- we can directly check whether the update is present. This is simpler and more failsafe, so I don't like the idea of using updatelog for those updates unless there's some good specific reason (speed?). However, for updates where we can't tell whether it's been run without an updatelog row, obviously we've got to add that on fresh installs, yeah. At best it would be a waste of time to run those updates unnecessarily, and at worst perhaps dangerous. (Although I'm not sure what kind of updates would be harmful to run twice, that wouldn't also cause problems if they were aborted midway through and had to be resumed.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
