Updating core with drush - good idea or fraught idea?

jdwalling's picture

I am looking into updating drupal core with drush.
"drush up drupal" updates core without updating modules which seems safer/saner than "drush up" which updates modules with core.
Can batching drush save you from update hell?
Bring your tips to the seadug meeting next Thursday Jan 19.

Presentation proposal

I've written a module based on comments from the discussion I initiated last month about maintaining lists of featured content and whether "Promoted to Front" could (or should) be employed for that purpose. If there's time, I'd love to give a short demo and get more feedback.

Hey Guys,

I'm going to be headed up to Seattle tonight. I have stuff in Portland until about 5:00, so I won't be in Seattle until about 8:00, but I was thinking I'd stop by and grab a beer.

Hopefully I'll see you at Cactus!

I wouldn't assume you will

I wouldn't assume you will get to seattle from portland in 3 hours tonight. Seattle is a frozen mess. There is a strong chance that we will be canceling the DUG and the post DUG refreshments at Cactus.

I might suggest not even trying to get to seattle tonight. The areas south of us have been hit harder than we have from what I've heard.

Love you guys, but

not enough to drive down & back from Anacortes on roads likely to have 1/4 to 1/2" of ice.

Meeting tonight?

I take it the meeting is still on for those that can make it?
Currently the weather prediction seems to be that for travel in the central city, by bus or car, will be okay by the evening commute. I canceled the class I teach this evening, because many of my students come from all over the area. So I can take advantage of the opportuningt o make it this month, for once.

I'm thinking given the

I'm thinking given the deteriorating weather conditions, we should cancel the DUG tonight. I have no intention of leaving capitol hill. The streets up here are terrible, as are the sidewalks. There are some folks in IRC right now, and we can talk about it there. But suffice to say, I will not be there, and Josh Kopel has also said he will not be there.

Question Board

Hi all -

I'm not even going to try to make out there tonight. I usually walk but don't want to try with the cold and snow tonight.

I do have a question - What is the url where you post quesions for help on working with Drupal? I think it IRC something...???

Thanks.

Ice everywhere, don't travel today!

We have 1/2" of ice coating EVERYTHING out here in West Seattle, and I've got to believe Rainier Valley and everything else South and East of me is hosed as well. I don't know just how far North this extends (cause there's no way I'm driving in this mess), but it sounds like the snow is kicking up in Shoreline again now too, as of an hour ago.

It's not worth it, there's already two dead people out there from falling limbs alone...

We're calling it due to snow

We're calling it due to snow and slush and ice! Don't come down to Amazon tonight. we will not be there. The roads are too messy. We will be on a google+ hangout. look for Rick Hawkens, or Gregory Heller on google+

Google Hangout questions...

hemant_saraf's picture

I was checking how to find and join the hangouts... read this,

"Join a hangout

Joining a hangout that's already going on is easy. But you'll typically only know about the hangout if you were invited to join (either explicitly or because you're in a circle that was invited).

If you're invited to a hangout, several things will happen:

You'll see a post in your stream that a hangout is going on, with a button that says, Join this hangout.
You'll receive a notification that you've been invited to a hangout.
If you go to start a new hangout, you'll see the other hangouts that are going on that you've been invited to.
If you were individually invited and signed in to Chat, you'll receive a message with a link to the hangout. This isn't the case if more than 25 people were invited.

If you weren't invited to a hangout, you could still enter if someone shares the hangout URL with you.

When you enter a hangout, you'll see the current participants, broken down according to who is in your circles and who isn't. This way you don't have to hang out with anyone you don't like or don't know.

If no one is hanging out right now, you can start your own and invite people to join you!"

Wonder if you plan to share the link of your hangout.... I have searched and added you to my circle... however not sure if the hangout started by you will be visible to me if I am NOT in YOUR CIRCLE...

thanks,
Hemant

Meeting online?
