In one tiny patch we do two things.
First, we fix the race condition around dirty context and accessdata
timestamps -- it is saner to offset the check than to offset the
recording of the change (as an earlier patch did).
On a cluster, you still need NTP.
Second, we do away with CAST(). Ideally, the values should be compared
as ints but it's hard to get a CAST() syntax that is portable enough
to work on all our supported DBs. And Eloy pointed out (and I
corroborated testing) that we'll never have problems with the string
length, as our timestamps are always 10 chars as a string... and the
day they go to 11 chars we'll hit the unix Year-2038 bug.
README $Id$ ------ QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle A local copy can also be found in lang/en_utf8/help/install.html (or your language) Good luck and have fun!
