Yes, that is what I want. Looking at the trunk code, setting '*' as source should have the exact behaviour that I want.

Right, in the 1.4 code I see for example that the destination number is never actually used, apart from showing it on the upgrades tab. > I added several tests and cleaned up the behavior on the trunk: > http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Products.GenericSetup/trunk/Products/GenericSetup/tests/upgrade.txt > Please let me know if I did break useful behavior. Ah, that looks much saner, thanks! Nothing breaks here AFAICT. And this tells me that my way of specifying source=1.1.9 and dest=2.0 should still work. A snippet of those tests adapted to my numbers gives this result: 1.1.9 (source) > 1.1.2 (current) < 1.2 (dest) >>> e.versionMatch('1.1.2') False >>> e.isProposed(tool, '1.1.2') False >>> bool(_extractStepInfo(tool, 'ID', e, '1.1.2')) True So the version does not match and the step is not proposed, but the step info is extracted anyway, and as far as I can see this is what matters in the end, as this is called in listUpgradeSteps. BTW, do I understand correctly that when in this example we add a checker that returns False the step will still be shown? Specifying '*' instead of '1.1.9' as source is conceptually better and works just as well on trunk. But on GS 1.4 this has the effect of always listing that upgrade step, as the current version is never compared to the destination. To get the exact same behaviour on 1.4 as on trunk I guess I could copy the versionMatch code from trunk and add that as a checker to my upgrade step... Seems silly though. :-) Okay, my conclusion: I will stick to specifying 1.1.9 as source in this case. Alternatively I will use '*' as source and make very sure that running those upgrade steps a second time has no adverse effects and is fast. And for an upgrade step in a package that is meant for GenericSetup/Plone trunk I will use source="*". Since I made some notes while investigating, I might as well share them. So here are some random observations for reference, with some CMFPlone versions thrown in for good measure. - GS 1.3.3 is used in Plone 3.0.6. - GS 1.4.1 is used in Plone 3.1.7. - GS 1.4.2.2 is used in Plone 3.2.2. - GS 1.4.2.2 is used in Plone 3.3rc1. - GS trunk (1.5) is used in Plone trunk (4.0). - The upgrade.py file is exactly the same in GS 1.3.x and 1.4.x, so upgrade step behaviour should be the same in Plone 3.0-3.3. - Checkers: - GS 1.3/1.4: if a step has a checker, then the source and destination do not matter anymore: only the return value of the checker matters. - GS trunk (1.5): if a step has a checker, then its return value is used together with checks on the source and destination numbers. - Destination: - GS 1.3/1.4: the version destination does not matter at all (!) as it is not used anywhere apart from being shown in the UI... - GS trunk (1.5): the destination matters, as it is compared to the currently applied profile revision. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "This is your day, don't let them take it away."
