I'm not laughing, I'm "a little worried."
hmmm, your 'automatic upgrade' was caused by...
- you manually pointing your 3.8.5 Koha to a 3.8.10 codebase, (then forgetting you did that)
No. (and despite my advancing years, not only is my memory way above average, but I keep notes of everything I do. On this particular box, I did a wget for the tarball to /home/paul/, tar xvfz'ed to /home/paul/, and cp'ed the .gz to / with the unfulfilled intention of upgrading, all on 23 Feb this year.)
- you manually logging-in as the Koha database user at the install/upgrade page
No. I was logged in as user=koha to run './cleanup_database.pl --zebraqueue -v', *not* at any "install" page.
- you manually clicking 'upgrade'
No. Or rather, upgrade what? For an upgrade 3.8.5 ==> 3.8.10, categorically "No." After running './cleanup_database.pl --zebraqueue -v', neither the OPAC nor the staff/8080 interface was available. My only way forward was a "staff/8080" login as user=koha and agree to "Web installer Step 3: update your database" -- note *database*, nothing about version.
Did i miss anything??
Yes. Using '-v' with cleanup_database.pl was not verbose. It was totally silent on version upgrade, only advised: koha@hardy:/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs$ ./cleanup_database.pl --zebraqueue -v Zebraqueue purge triggered for 30 days. 131575 records were deleted. Done with zebraqueue purge. Yes. I was operating as user=koha to run cleanup_database.pl. The fact is that the Koha version went from 3.8.5 to 3.8.10 without my permission. Yes. user=koha has the permissions to upgrade versions, but why does cleanup_database.pl (specifically the '--zebraqueue -v' option) upgrade versions at the same time? I truly appreciate your reply. But your suggestion that I "manually" did one of the three points you raised is untrue. Did the version upgrade happen? Yes. Did user=koka have the rights? Yes. Was I given any warning? No. Is there any reason why cleanup_database.pl should have anything to do with upgrading versions? That is my question. It did it. It's reproducible on my sandbox (and I'd be interested if others can confirm/deny.)
