Darin, is the ramification here that we won't be able to get update logs from users using the RC? This doesn't effect the success of software update right?

Comment 3

[Darin Fisher]

It means that in order to get log files from users in the field, we will need them to create an empty "updates/last-update.log" before they attempt to apply the update.

I suspect we won't slip and respin the RC to pick this up. But this would be a good ride along candidate if we end up doing an RC2 or something bigger comes up with RC1. adding our tracking text for that:

"not going to lose a day with this but could become a ride-along if we're forced
to respin by some other bug."

There's no choice anyaway for a RC2, we have a couple of good patches that we would need, that are not risky, like this one.

moving out to the 1.8 rc2 ride-along candidate list. We'll consider taking this if we do an RC2.

I landed this for Darin.
