| Ok, so tomorrow was a slight exaggeration, a realistic time-scale is needed for those that care enough about their sites to check them out prior to an upgrade.
But whats annoying me at the moment, is the only people who are complaining about MySQL 5 are those that have osC, and the same happened when we discussed the PHP5 upgrades.
If osC is that slow to keep up with the new software versions then maybe another software solution needs to be found. I'd have thought with such a big following the developers of osC need to keep the software current.
All my sites are compatible with MySQL 5 and have been for the last 18 months or so.
I'm not overly familiar with osC having installed it only once as a trial and not liking it, so I'll leave my bitching at that. It just seems slightly unfair that one group of sites is affecting a decision that affects all sites hosted with UH.
Why not help each other out and start a thread with common updates that will need to be made to osC to make it compatible with MySQL 5.
or: Theres enough developers on this forum with osC experience to offer their paid services to help out the other UH clients to get the software ready for the upgrades that are likely to take place in '09.
If I had osc experience I'd be thinking of this as a great business opportunity, theres a defined target audience I could advertise to, with predefined targets, sounds like a great little money earner to me, patch the osC code once and just copy it across to all osC installs for a small cost, while your doing that you can check out the contributions and let the siteadmin know if they need to be fixed as well which you would be able to do for XX quid. sounds like a nice little money earner to me. |
