One of the most joyous events in open source free software development is when someone contributes code back to code you contributed to the community. Here's what to do when that happens for a module you maintain on Drupal.org.

Following the local development layout described in CVS commands for branching a Drupal 5 module to Drupal 6 (based on add1sun's).

Note: Not all command line output is shown, to better highlight the commands you should enter as the user.

Working on configuring MySQL for our deployment system I was confronted with a little problem. To improve on safety it would be good to have an administrative user which may only create and drop users for our Drupal databases which have a common name pattern. Therefore I tried this GRANT statement: GRANT ALL ON drupal\_%.* TO 'drupal'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION. All is well documented in the MySQL online manual page GRANT syntax.

An unknown tidbit that may interest you if you're a Dell Mini 9 owner is that the max ram that a mini 9 can hold is 2GB, yes I said 2GB. Why does Dell not offer that much when you try to order them you ask? That's because of good old closed source software, in order to ship the Mini with Windows XP instead of Windows Vista (because XP licenses are cheaper), there are some hardware specs that the Mini needs to be below, one of which is a maximum installed memory of 1GB.

If you are a "normal" person, you probably have at least one device kicking around your arsenal that uses a good old lithium ion battery. These are usually found in phones, mp3 players, laptops, etc... basically portable things that use a lot of power.

There are a lot of opinions out there on best practices with batteries, below are some decent guidelines that should keep the relationship between you and your precious device happy and productive...

Resolution

The main points are bascially:

After directly replacing just the icon location (changing sites/example to sites/default and nothing else) in the theme settings (global and theme-specific) of a site recently updated from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, the menu for the site disappeared with array_merge errors in two lines in the ./includes/theme.inc file.

Going to the global theme settings and resaving the variables (which were all missing, no checkboxes marked) fixed the problem.

Strange. But true!

Resolution

Errors from would-be user of SCF:

SCF seems to have a lot of "custom" modules. Do you know who is developing these? Is there a license conflict with GPL2 for not having them on d.o?

The modules were developed by Tom Green. Agaric Design Collective (with myself as project lead) has taken over primary development.

The open source free software world once again proves better than the locked-down proprietary world on truly wanted features with Tomboy: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/features.html

Some crazy ways I looked to work around this bug for the SCF installation profile.

Repeating the update system line certainly did not do it:
