[SOLVED] No applicable patch available

I did my best to google this problem, but I found nothing. I hope I missed some obvious solution. If I did, sorry for that Anyway, my problem is simple:

Code: Select all

foo@bar# php tools/upgrade.php patch
Code version:      2.1.2.0
Database version:  2.1.2.0
Latest version:    2.3.3.1
A newer version is available:
         tag:     ocs-2_3_3-1
         date:    2010-08-10
         info:    http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs/
         package: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs/download/ocs-2.3.3-1.tar.gz
         patch:   N/A
No applicable patch available
foo@bar#

So, as you see, I tried to upgrade OCS 2.1.2 to newest version using "php tools/upgrade.php patch" and failed miserably. Now, as you can see: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs_download, there is a patch for OCS 2.1.2, so it seems upgrade.php is lying. I don't even have the slightest idea where to start looking for problems. Any ideas?

I though about simply patching the installation using patch -p1 < ocs....patch, but I still have to upgrade the database using php tools/upgrade.php patch, don't I?

I'd be very happy if anybody could help.

Regards,
Nikola

I tried doing the patch manually through downloading this patch and doing patch -p1 < ocs...patch. This is what I get:

Code: Select all

foo@bar# patch -p1 --dry-run < ocs-2.1.2-1_to_2.3.3-1.patch | grep FAILED | wc -l
69


So there would be 69 rejected file updates. I reckon that is a lot. Is it possible that 2.1.2.0 (which is exact version of my OCS) and 2.1.2-1 (which is version which the patch expects) are in fact two distinct versions which are not identical? If so, how do I update 2.1.2.0 to 2.1.2-1?

Kind regards,
Nikola

Good people at pkp.contact@gmail.com were helpful and added patch for 2.1.2.0 to the web. So I managed to patch my code by hand (php tools/upgrade.php patch still does not recognise the patch), and I kind of patched my database (php toos/upgrade.php update seems to have done the job since my OCS works as expected), but php tools/upgrade.php patch says:
foo@bar# php tools/upgrade.php patch
Code version: 2.3.4.0
Database version: 2.1.2.0
Latest version: 2.3.4.0
Database version is older than code version
Run "tools/upgrade.php upgrade" to update
foo@bar# php tools/upgrade.php upgrade
[load: upgrade.xml]
[version: 2.3.4.0]
[data: dbscripts/xml/upgrade/2.3.0_preupdate.xml]
ERROR: Upgrade failed: DB: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '' at line 1
foo@bar#

So, yeah, this is kind of solved now...
