When will updatedb be completed?
Sebastian Macias
completed? updatedb is basically all django is missing for me and many
developers at the company I work for to abandon CakePHP and move to
django.
Thanks,

As far as I know, none of the core development team are actively
working on any form of automated schema evolution. There is a branch,
but it is the responsibility of a volunteer who was writing the code;
if you're interested in seeing that code completed, the best thing to
do is contact the person who was working on it and see about
collaborating to finish the work.

Do you have this person's contact info so we can coordinate the
completion of that function?
Thanks,
Sebastian

There's actually two branches (schema-evolution and
schema-evolution-ng); in addition to those, I can recall at least 2
occasions in the last six months where someone has offered to work on
schema-evolution..
Unfortunately, schema evolution seems to be a black hole for
contributors. People offer to work on schema evolution, and they are
never heard from again... :-)
Personally, I'm very keen to see schema evolution done (and done
well). I've got a whole lot of other stuff on my plate at the moment,
so I wouldn't count on schema evolution emerging from _my_ corner any
time soon. However, if some enterprising soul wants to make an effort,
I'm happy to help out wherever I can.
Yours,

This effort http://www.aswmc.com/dbmigration/ is actually a pretty good
(and recent) piece of work. It's not completely automatic (since that's
impossible), but it's reasonably easy to use.
