deleteDefaultMessages.php was failing during upgrade
from MediaWiki 1.7.3 with a databaser error.
A stub user:
$user = User::newFromName( 'MediaWiki default' );
has user ID 0, so that $user->isAnon() is true.
Unfortunately, ManualLogEntry::publish() from r96441
tries to insert $user->getName() ("MediaWiki default")
into rc_ip.
PostgreSQL won't allow this, because rc_ip is of
Postgres-specific CIDR type.
Traceback:
Checking existence of old default messages...
...deleting old default messages (this may take a long time!)...A database query syntax error has occurred.
The last attempted database query was:
"INSERT INTO "recentchanges" (rc_timestamp,rc_cur_time,rc_namespace,rc_title,rc_type,rc_minor,rc_user,rc_user_text,rc_comment,rc_this_oldid,rc_last_oldid,rc_bot,rc_moved_to_ns,rc_moved_to_title,rc_ip,rc_patrolled,rc_new,rc_old_len,rc_new_len,rc_deleted,rc_logid,rc_log_type,rc_log_action,rc_params,rc_id) VALUES ('2012-03-14 21:51:05 GMT','2012-03-14 21:51:05 GMT','8','1movedto2','3','0','0','MediaWiki default','No longer required','0','0',1,'0','','MediaWiki default','1','0',NULL,NULL,'0','1','delete','delete','a:0:{}','1')"

MySQL returned error "1: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type cidr: "MediaWiki default"

* Added getReadOnlyReason() function to FileRepo to check read-only status. Added such checks to the File object functions that mutate files in storage. This should make read-only mode more tolerable (which is needed at least briefly when switching backends).
* Added lock()/unlock() calls to File restore() function.
* Use proper isOK() accessor for Status objects.
You can lie to me, but not to your installer.
Make DatabasePostgres::tableExists to check
for real table names, not faked ones.
DatabasePostgres is currently lying to the rest
of the MediaWiki that "mwuser" table is actually
called "user" and that "pagecontents" is called
"text". While MediaWiki does not care, the
installer (and updater do).
This allows us to overcome first hurdle
in getting MediaWiki 1.7.3 to update to trunk
on PostgreSQL and uncover further bugs.
For this commit to actually do something,
we rename those tables when upgrading to match
what we have in maintenance/postgres/tables.sql
And by the way, tell installer not to check
for "user" table, since most PostgreSQL users
will have "mwuser" instead. Picking "archive"
instead.
