[Koha-devel] How about a different way of handling database updates

[Michael Hafen]

Update order.  I hadn't thought of that.  That could be a big deal.

I'm already committed to writing it if it does get traction.  I have a
couple database updates in my own branch that couldn't be in the the
updatedatabase.pl obviously.  If this does get traction and we can
figure out the patch order thing I'll want this a lot.

The patch order may not be that big a deal.  There is an implicit patch
order enforced by the patches location in the updatedatabase.pl file.
That might be good enough.
