User:TerryE/phpBB3.0.9 Upgrade/Issues and Actions
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
I have included the list of open issues and activities that I intend to carried out as part of the phpBB V3.0.9 upgrade below. See Closed Issues and Actions for details on the any completed work items.
The Core Build
- The core phpBB code base is from phpBB 3.0.9 Download.
- The following language packs from The phpBB Languages Repository. This presents a "user friendly" forms front-end onto any download so I needed to go through this manually to obtain the actual link and file information.
| Catalan | 80495 | ca | catalan_1_0_3.zip |
| Catalan (Valencian) | Retired | ca_pv | See note 1 |
| Dutch | 80389 | nl | dutch_casual_1_0_10.zip |
| English (U.K.) | Built-in | en | (Built-in) |
| English (U.S.) | 80391 | en_us | american_english_1_0_4.zip |
| French | 81076 | fr | french_1_1_1.zip |
| Hungarian | 80559 | hu | hungarian_229.zip |
| Italian | 80848 | it | italian_3_0_9.zip |
| Japanese | 80443 | ja | japanese_1_0_2.zip |
| Mandarin Chinese (Simplified script) | 77832 | zh_cmn_hans | mandarin_simplified_1_0_2.zip (See note 2) |
| Mandarin Chinese (Traditional script) | 80344 | zh_cmn_hant | mandarin_traditional_1_0_2.zip (See note 2) |
| Polish | 80557 | pl | polish_r194.zip |
| Spanish (Argentinian) | Retired | es_ar | See note 1 |

| Vietnamese | 80902 | vi | vietnamese_v1_1.zip |
The pull and unpacking of these into the /var/lib/phpBB/ref309 is all scripted. But note the following:
- Support for the Catalan (Valencia), Spanish (Argentinian) and Spanish (Mexican) LPs seem to have been dropped at 3.0.9 so I will dropping them also. The numbers of users with these LPs as default are as follows: ca_pv (1), es_ar (32), es_mx (11). All are in the Spanish forum and only have a total of 59 posts between them. So I will also point all of these to the base es LP as this is the working language of the Spanish forum. This requires a one-off SQL update as part of migration.
- In the past I simplified these NL codes to zh_cs and zh_ct, but following the principle of "minimum change" to standard, I am dropping this and w.e.f. version 3.0.9, I will be using the standard naming. This requires a one-off SQL update as part of migration.
- One slight annoyance is that these kits vary in that the language and styles subdirectories sometimes 1 and sometimes 2 directory prefixes, but the unpack script handles this.
