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

[Stephen Marquard]

Hi all,

In the absence of any comment on this, we intend to commit these changes to kernel trunk and 5 dependent modules (metaobj, msgcntr, rwiki, sam, syllabus) on Fri 26 June.

The nature of the change means that the kernel and trunk code have to be updated together (otherwise the trunk build will break), so this will also involve updating the 1.1-SNAPSHOT kernel build in the repo. 

If you have 3rd-party code (collab or local tools) that use or set the content length for a resource, this may also require minor updates.

Cheers
Stephen

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
