update module with a twist

I just did an upgrade from the calendar and date module of which calendar needed to move from 6.x-2.x-dev to 6.x-2.4 version which seemed a pitb exercise. I hope I missed some skills :-p

The following command was not working

drush upc calendar-6.x-2.4

So what I did was download the latest version offsite. Then diff the module trees.

cd /tmp
drush dl calendar-6.x-2.4
cd /my-site/sites/all/modules/calendar
cp -r /tmp/calendar/* ./

then compare the latest version with the svn version ... I still think I'm missing something. Anyway we need to remove old files.

diff --recursive --brief . /tmp/calendar/ | grep -v .svn
 557 svn rm ./calendar_ical/translations/calendar_ical.sv.po 
 558 svn rm ./jcalendar/translations/jcalendar.sv.po
 559 diff --recursive --brief . /tmp/calendar/ | grep -v .svn
 560 svn rm ./translations/calendar.sv.po
 561 diff --recursive --brief . /tmp/calendar/ | grep -v .svn
 562 svn st
 563 svn add *
 564 svn add */*
 565 svn st
 566 svn add */*/*
 567 svn add */*/*/*
 568 svn st

I guess now the above could be shortened with some recursive switch for svn.

Now the calendar dir contains too many items which we need to remove. As the correct version is also in the temp dir we can run

drush upc date
 572 drush upc cck
 573 drush cc all
 574 drush cc all
 575 svn st
 576 cd sites/all/modules/contrib/
 577 svn st
 578 cd date/
 579 svn st
 580 svn st | grep "\!"
 581 svn st | grep "\!" | cut -c 2-
 582 svn st | grep "\!" | cut -c 2- | xargs echo {}
 583 svn st | grep "\!" | cut -c 2- | xargs echo 
 584 svn st | grep "\!" | cut -c 2- | xargs svn rm 
 585 history
svn st | grep "\!" | cut -c 2- | xargs svn rm
