Description

For people up-/downgrading from one FLOW3 version to another, there should be some tool that executes required migrations etc.

This could be a simple FLOW3 CLI Command IMO.
Changes that need to replace code could be put in <Package>/Migrations/Php/Version<timestamp>.php (just like Doctrine migrations.
A consequence of that would be that changes must not break CLI (at least after caches have been flushed).

Some issues/questions:

  • Do we need to provide a downgrading mechanismn?
  • How can we track from which to which version the user is up-/downgrading?
  • Do we need some automatic backup solution if anything goes wrong?

Suggestion: Create up() and down() methods in some AbstractMigrations (also see Doctrine Migrations) and leave it to the implementation whether to support downgrade or not.

  • How can we track from which to which version the user is up-/downgrading?

One solution would be to always execute all migrations in the right order.
Another solution could be to store the current version in some text(?) file after upgrading.

  • Do we need some automatic backup solution if anything goes wrong?

Suggestion: flow3:upgrade (or whatever the command would be called) would do a dry run by default and inform the user that a backup of files and db has to be done first.

Also nice is the way things are managed with Symfony 2. we should look at having something along those lines to ease working with "custom distributions"
