This has been completely refactored with no warning and all done in the same branch. This is very frustrating as an end user to suddenly grab from CVS or the tarball and receive a very different package that has no docs for the refactoring either.

Please consider using 0.x releases for these type of changes, as at the moment there seems to exist no docs for the current release, in effect rendering this project somewhat unusable.

I really like this project, but I am copying over my old copies of these scripts from other projects until you can provide some docs, or info on how to properly implement the module version of this project.

Also, this makes it very hard to retrieve the old version of this project for legacy work or projects that were started with the old version.

Sorry I should have said no way to retrieve old files as I can check them out of CVS with the -D option

Sorry for any confusion that it may have caused. Although it has been re factored, everything still behaves basically the same with some additional features. I updated all the documentation and help extensively with the new updates (the help option for each script is much more verbose). It's still not a "module" so to speak, as it still shouldn't be placed within the modules directory (hence why no .info file was included).

Essentially, I pulled all the heavy lifting out of each individual script and put it inside the dbscripts.module file. I then renamed each action script as so:

dump_database -> dump.php
restore_database -> restore.php
erase_database -> erase.php
merge_database -> merge.php

The location of each of the database files remains the same. The config.inc file has been updated, though, so you should port over any modifications you had made to the new version.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks a ton, I really didn't intend to complain quite so much, I've just come to love this project and depend on it quite a bit, and was surprised by the changes. Thanks alot for all your great work with this project!
