getting complete version of an older release

Post by bradb »

I am upgrading our site from 2.27.1 and I wanted to get a copy of the original release files to make sure we hadn't made any on-the-fly changes. The ZIP file from Sourceforge is usually complete, but this one is missing much of the vendor code. How can I complete my copy?

I don't understand what you mean with that. Can you give an example which folder you are missing in which zip-file?

The problem is that I don't know if the difference is because additional vendor software was installed in the actual live instance of the site or what.

For one example - this is comparing mantisbt, our current live folder running 2.27.1, and the mantisbt-2.27.1 zip file - just a sample for one package
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle: .php_cs
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle: Dockerfile
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Exception: SeekException.php
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src: UriTemplate.php
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/promises: Makefile
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/promises/src: functions.php
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/promises/src: functions_include.php
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7: .php_cs.dist
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7/src: functions.php
Only in mantisbt/vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7/src: functions_include.php
I also have a number of font files in the live site that have no match in the zip file.

That is the zip file that I downloaded today for 2.27.1. I don't know if it is different now or not.

If I get release files from github and run composer install in that copy, it seems to be closer. But that's normally why I stick to the Sourceforge zip files, they are complete with the appropriate versions of all the vendor files.

Your version is different from SourceForce and different from GitHub, so someone must have changed it.
Maybe this was started as an own development, in best case based on the Git repo using Git to track changes.
If there is a folder ".git" in the root folder, running "git status" might tell you more about the status of this folder.
