Description

The logic with this patch is if you are running an svn checkout, do not display the core updater code and instead display a reminder.

  • Component changed from General to Upgrade/Install
  • Keywords 3.2-early added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

Having some sort of svn-specific behavior is definitely something we should do, but disabling the core updater entirely seems error prone. It should just be a warning.

  • Keywords 3.2-early removed
  • Milestone changed from Future Release to 3.2

What koop said.

Also, we should do the same per plugin/theme at some point.

How does this do for a simple warning?

I'd throw an ABSPATH in there at least. Someone else might like to weigh in on the wording.

#5 @scribu

Wouldn't is_directory() be more appropriate?

Yeah, I suppose it would, have changed it.

I believe WordPress is spelled wrong here :-)

#8 @solarissmoke

Everyone's allowed to make that mistake once, right? :P

#9 @scribu

Since we're at it, how about checking for a .git directory too? :D

Add ABSPATH, use is_dir(), and capital P, dangit!

#10 @solarissmoke

There we go. I thought about customising the string for SVN and Git, but it seems like overkill.

#11 follow-up: @nacin

If we are to offer Git checkout detection, which I'm not inclined to do, I'd rather not combine the string.

Also, let's spell out "Subversion". My take: <strong>Warning:</strong> It appears that you are running Subversion checkout of WordPress. You may wish to keep WordPress up to date using Subversion instead.

Also, please don't replace patches -- just upload new ones.

Okay.

I agree here, Support the VCS we're using, we can't support every single VCS out there..

Missed freeze, punting.

I know we disable auto updates when a VCS is detected - is that reusable here in any way?

This would make for a great enahancement
