[Building Sakai] Proposed kernel API change for supporting files > 2G

[Stephen Marquard]

Hi all,

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/KNL-205  is to support files in Content Hosting over 2G in size.

This requires an API change in the ContentResource and ContentResourceEdit interfaces, viz.:

-	public int getContentLength();
+	public long getContentLength();
 
-	public void setContentLength(int length);
+	public void setContentLength(long length);

It also requires a set of minor changes in five core projects, viz. metaobj, msgcntr, rwiki, sam, syllabus, to deal with consequences of the size change, which means that the trunk checkin needs to be synchronized with the kernel update.

Are there any objections to going ahead with this in trunk?

Regards
Stephen
