[Phpmyadmin-devel] Rejoining

Hi All, After a long sabbatical from developing on phpMyAdmin, due to final exams and a month long vacation in South Africa [able to check my email only with a 14.4 modem :-( ], I'm now coming back to carry on working. I have noticed a few new bits popping into phpMyAdmin since i've been using it as a user while I have been doing other things, and some of the new bits are definetly getting places. Just looking at the current status, 2.2.0-rc4, I'd assume we're working on fixing as many bugs as possible to be ready for -final. What are the most pressing issues that I can get to work on, and when are we aiming to release -final by? -- Robin Hugh Johnson QTOD: "I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."

Welcome back Robin! You can pick an unassigned bug, but something bothers me: there have been bug reports about large dumps which take minutes, or which hangs. I could not reproduce those, but I have only about 10 MB of data in my databases, so if you can try dumps on large databases and find something reproducible, it would certainly help. Marc

I have access to databases with 1.000.000+ records so I'll try to make some tests over the next couple of days to see if I can find a pattern or even reproduce the bug. Kind regards /Geert

I'll take the next bug that looks doable from the list and work on it. -- Robin Hugh Johnson QTOD: "I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."

I've been testing with the very little information mentioned in the assigned bug #448223 - and I'm not sure that I with the little available information thats reported can reproduce the bug - so if any on this list can tell more about the bug or even reproduce it - I'll be greatfull to hear any information, because I don't think that I can reproduce it at all. (Marc - you opened the bug in the tracker - based on what information) -- Kind regards Geert Lund

Geert, here are a few links: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=124365&forum_id=72908 http://phpwizard.net/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=4409&t=4409 http://phpwizard.net/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=4323&t=4323 http://phpwizard.net/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=4281&t=4281 Marc Geert Lund - SilverSoft Productions a écrit :

Great - and as I see it - the problem exists only with PHP running in safe mode with memory limits set. And I'll just think if there's a way to solve it - but there has to be... I'll run some more tests. (and see if I can get a PHP running in safemode to do the 'bug' here - but actually it isen't a bug but a restriction that we will have to find a way to get past...) -- Kind regards Geert Lund

Geert, Do you mean that when not in safe mode, a user can use more than memory_limit bytes as stated in php.ini? Geert Lund - SilverSoft Productions a écrit :

I'm not quite sure yet - but I don't seem to have any problems on my setup here - but I'll just check the memory_limit thing - I'm not even sure that I have any memory limits set in my production environment - I'll look into it ;o) -- Kind regards Geert Lund
