Code tour, Sep 1 - Sep 8

[yvi]

Good morning/day/afternoon/evening/night Dreamwidth! My name is Yvi and I will be your week's tour guide. This week was a slow-ish week with 17 bugs getting RESOLVED FIXED. But we have some shiny in there, so follow me. Most of these are not yet live on the site.

LJ -> DW and the "friends" concept.

[scsi]

So im combing through the code adding a switch to enable 32 bit mode (fun stuff is here: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632). Conversion docs are here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Upgrading_an_old_LJ_Installation_to_DW_Codebase

In the process of the whole "friends group" concept, I ran into this little problem that Im pounding my head against the wall to figure out.

So it looks like trust_groups is the same as friendgroup2 table. Same table definitions, looks like a straight import (or is it that simple!).

Whats the DW equivalent of a LJ "friend"? Is there a quick and dirty way to convert friend groups and friends to the DW equivalent or are the DJ users going to have to start with a clean slate of friends and friend groups (then the issue about entries using a certain friend group and what happens to them).

Fun stuff.
