Gunnar,
I applied your patch to my 6.12-1 installation.
I got the following error when manually checking for new updates while on
the Modules page:
"There was a problem determining the status of available updates for your
version of Drupal. See the available updates page for more information."
"available updates" is underlined/hyperlinked.
If I then follow that link, I'm on the "Available Updates" page, which
tells me "No available releases found", and there is a yellow warning icon
to the right of that text.
There are a few problems that I see with this patch:
1. The "No available releases found" text is correct, but still confusing.
The yellow warning icon is not a good thing to show the Drupal admin,
because it is not clear _why_ no releases were found.
After your patch, there is no longer a Drupal-base update mechanism
(there is still one for modules, but I speak only of the base, here).
Debian (not Drupal) administrators would use Debian's own update mech
to perform this task, and no longer expect the Drupal admin interface
to warn about new or security updates.
Is this correct?
2. The "Modules" page (in Drupal admin) should not treat #1 above as
a problem, and should not present a warning.
Perhaps the patch, which is Debian-specific, needs to be expanded to make
it clear to the Drupal admin that Drupal-base version/etc is handled at
the _Debian_ admin level, and updates will _not_ be shown in the GUI....
Thanks,
Jubal
