All these functions were used only by deleted upgrade steps
so it's safe to proceed with straight deletion, considering
them internal. Deletion has been documented in corresponding
upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_mimetypes()
- upgrade_fix_missing_root_folders_draft()
- upgrade_minmaxgrade() and upgrade_minmaxgradestepignored setting
- upgrade_course_tags()
- atto_equation_update_librarygroup4_setting()
- mod_lti_upgrade_custom_separator()
These have been kept because continue being used by restore:
- upgrade_group_members_only()
- upgrade_extra_credit_weightoverride()
- upgrade_calculated_grade_items()
As a result of fixing the auth plugins config storage in MDL-12689, many
settings would be falsely reported as new ones by
admin/upgradesettings.php. We do not want to confuse admins so we try to
reduce the bewilderment by pre-populating the config_plugins table with
default values. This should be done only for disabled auth methods. The
enabled methods have their settings already stored, so reporting actual
new settings for them is valid.
Some auth plugins used to have a mix of the legacy style of plugin names
in config_plugins table (such as 'auth/mnet') and the new correct
style (such as 'auth_mnet'). Attempting to rename the setting plugin via
low level SQL UPDATE could lead to duplicate key violation.
The patch introduces a new helper function to safely migrate the old
settings to the new ones, eventually informing the admin about the
values mismatch.
Unfortunately it has come to light that the version sniffing is just not
reliable at all, operating system vendors backport security patches to
older versions - so in many cases we reporting a problem which is not a
problem. False positives and the solution to self-compile or something
like php will be causing more harm than good.
Note I've deleted a couple of files there, 99.99% not problematic
(repository/boxnet) because as a general rule it's better to avoid
adding plugin files in the function and, instead, use core ones that
cannot be "reinstalled". Exception to the rule (what's a rule without
an exception) being forum that cannot be deleted. ;-)
This commits removes stuff from different upgradelib files, used
exclusively by the already deleted upgrade steps. Given such
exclusivity it was not needed to proceed with a 2-phase deprecation
as far as the functions were 100% internal to upgrade.
This is the list of deleted functions, all them docummented in their
corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- repository_picasa_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_googledocs_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_boxnet_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_alfresco_admin_security_key_notice();
- qtype_essay_convert_to_html();
- portfolio_picasa_admin_upgrade_notification();
- portfolio_googledocs_admin_upgrade_notification();
- portfolio_boxnet_admin_upgrade_notification();
- mod_book_migrate_moddata_dir_to_legacy();
- mod_book_migrate_all_areas();
- mod_book_migrate_area();
- mod_assignment_pending_upgrades_notification();
- upgrade_mysql_fix_unsigned_and_lob_columns();
- upgrade_course_completion_remove_duplicates();
- upgrade_save_orphaned_questions();
- upgrade_rename_old_backup_files_using_shortname();
- upgrade_mssql_nvarcharmax();
- upgrade_mssql_varbinarymax();
- upgrade_fix_missing_root_folders();
- upgrade_course_modules_sequences();
- upgrade_grade_item_fix_sortorder();
- upgrade_availability_item();
The admin setting updateautodeploy no longer exists. The two existing
config.php flags $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy and
$CFG->disableonclickaddoninstall merged into a single one.
The plugin manager's method install_remote_plugins() has been changed to
install_plugins() and it is now able to install plugins from the
provided list of locally available ZIP files, too. This is used by the
Install plugins admin tool.
The plugins check screen (displayed during core upgrade and/or plugins
upgrade) now supports installation of remote plugins. This includes
installation of missing dependencies (both single and bulk mode) and
installation of available updates (both single and bulk mode).
All the HTTP query parameters supported by admin/index.php are now
explicitly enlisted. Previously, the \core\update\deployer used
its own additional parameters (and was source of some serious problems
in the past).
The implementation uses the plugin manager as the controller and
provides an unified interface for installing any remote plugin or
plugins (be it available update or missing dependency).
As a side effect, we now validate available updates which was not
happening before.
The upgrade key can be defined in the main config.php as
$CFG->upgradekey. If it is defined there, then its value must be
provided every time the site is being upgraded, regardless the
administrator is logged in or not.
