[WG: Sakai QA] 2.6.1 update (refresh to 2.6.x -r67199; blocker remains)

[Anthony Whyte]

I've updated the sakai-2.6.x-qa branch to 2.6.x, r67199.  See below  
for a list of Jira issues addressed since the last refresh (r67107 on  
2 Oct).  QA server admins supporting this release should deploy this  
2.6.x-qa refresh at their earliest convenience.

One blocker stands in the way of cutting the 2.6.1 release: conversion  
scripts.  Matt Jones has updated the conversion scripts but they have  
yet to be merged into 2.6.x, pending testing verification.  Testing  
out these scripts by someone other than Matt would be appreciated.   
Note also that Matt's script work does not cover DB2.

Please review the details below, particularly the small set of non- 
blocker open issues marked with a fix version of 2.6.1.  I recommend  
they be bumped to 2.6.2.

Cheers,

Anthony

BLOCKER (conversion scripts)

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17080

Matt Jones has taken time to update the conversion scripts but they  
have yet to be merged into 2.6.x, pending testing verification.

"I have run these scripts multiple times testing out the fix for  
SAK-16548 and verifying the other conversions are in. I haven't found  
any issues with it and have confirmed that it fixes the errors. It  
would be appreciated to have someone else agree with this though  
before it's signed off on."

DB2: also as Matt reported on 2 Oct 2009:

> Also note, I don't have any idea how to write these to work in DB2.  
> If someone wants to make a DB2 version and needs any tips for what I  
> did
> to come up for the updates I'll be happy to go into details. It  
> seemed like for oracle I was able to do the unicode a lot more  
> straightforward and copy the codes out of the .properties files. For
> mysql I had to take the characters and do hex replacement of the  
> string data as it expected that the programming language take care  
> of the UTF-8 conversion.



2.6.1 OPEN ISSUES (n=7)

Not counting the single blocker, there are six other issues with a fix  
version of 2.6.1 and a priority of "major" or less that are not  
resolved.   I recommend that these 6 issues be bumped to 2.6.2 by  
their respective assignees (Zhen, Megan).
