TYPO3 Core

There is more then this issue, till yet we only handle to update to highest available version.

HowTo test the patch with master:

As there is no extension with a version which has a lower requirement higher then 7.1 you need to manipulate the database a bit to test this. Example for extension "news".

1.) Set lowest requirement of latest version of your example extension to 8.0.0

UPDATE `typo3_master`.`tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension` SET `serialized_dependencies` = 'a:1:{s:7:"depends";a:1:{s:5:"typo3";s:13:"8.0.0-8.99.99";}}' WHERE `tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension`.`extension_key` = 'news' AND `tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension`.`version` = '3.1.0' ;
// Set 3.0.1 as kompatible till 7.99.99
UPDATE `typo3_master`.`tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension` SET `serialized_dependencies` = 'a:1:{s:7:"depends";a:1:{s:5:"typo3";s:12:"6.2.2-7.99.99";}}' WHERE `tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension`.`extension_key` = 'news' AND `tx_extensionmanager_domain_model_extension`.`version` = '3.0.1' ;

2.) Set the version of your example extension to 2 versions lower then latest one.

edit ext_emconf.php of news extension and set version to 3.0.0.

3.) Look into Extension manager, no updates shown for your example extension.

4.) Apply patch and look to your example extension, now you should see the next version (which can be applied to master) but not your manipulated latest version (for news it should be 3.0.1).

5.) Try updating to this version (3.0.1) ... you only should see the comments for this updates and after applying you should be on that updateable version (for news it should be 3.0.1).

If this works all is fine.

This patch is against master, I can't give you help if you patch some other systems with this patch.
