Move pref migration code to classes loaded on-demand
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:23:27 UTC
There is a lot of pref migration code that is only used once. This should be factored out into separate classes that can be loaded only if needed.
Agreed for server prefs. For client prefs any new client attaching will result in going through all migration steps, so this may be less of a benefit.
I still think it's worth doing for client prefs, too. In a typical setup, you won't be adding a new client very often.
Alan is this assigned to you correctly? All, what real benefit would we see from fixing this bug? Easier to maintain?
This is low priority, the only thing we gain is a little bit of memory savings.
Yes, it is all about memory. Every chunk of perl code that we can avoid loading in TinySC saves us anothr chunk of memory. I suspect that much of January will be spent looking for memory.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
