I'm -1 until someone tests out the downgrade scenarios. My vote would be to keep the goose-like downgrade options (and potentially improve db/ admin.pl if needed to allow more rollback options if needed).
Also, I'm also not opposed to a new goose alternative because it is outdated without support. The reason we've never gotten rid of goose is because it's worked and everyone is familiar with it and no one has had the time to re-think a tool that has mostly worked. -Dew On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 10:50 AM Rawlin Peters <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 8:33 AM Gelinas, Derek > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I'm plus one on this if we add an automatic DB backup during install and > a restore utility. > > I would like to make the DB backups happen automatically at the > pre-upgrade and pre-rollback steps with a handy utility to restore a > certain backed-up version of the DB.
