Upgrading Riak and basho_patches #160

Closed lukebakken closed 1 year ago

lukebakken commented 10 years ago

When Riak is upgraded via a package manager, the basho-patches directory is left alone. Frequently, a Riak user will overlook the need to empty out the custom .beam files that potentially reside here.

This issue is to discuss whether or not to clean up this directory on upgrade. Perhaps on a 1.X.Y to 1.X.Y+1 upgrade the directory is unchanged, but a 1.X to 1.X+1 or 1.X to 2.Y the directory is cleaned up.

This is a tough one. The only thing I can think of if finding a way to warn the user. I'd really hate to remove a patch that wasn't affected by an upgrade.

Definitely a good thing to think about though.
