A difference between the originally installed version and the current was detected!
If you have ever read that warning in the TYPO3 extension manager, you know exactly how annoying it can be to find that difference.
You made some minor tweak or fix and forgot about it and now you don’t know what it was and if the updated extension contains the same fix.
Or even worse. You’re already up to the new extension manager interface where there are neither upload comments nor the warning about local modification. Oh boy, oh boy.
So what can you do? Here’s what.
To do this, we need 3 scripts from the typo3scripts script suite.
- extUpdate.sh
- extChangelog.sh
- extExtract.php
How to install and configure these scripts is explained on their respective wiki pages on the project homepage, so I won’t repeat that here. Let’s get right to the interesting parts.
$ ./extUpdate.sh Sourcing script configuration from typo3scripts.conf...Done. Checking dependencies...Succeeded. New version of 'direct_mail' available. Installed: 2.6.10 Latest: 2.7.0 New version of 'div2007' available. Installed: 0.7.2 Latest: 0.8.1 New version of 'kb_md5fepw' available. Installed: 0.4.0 Latest: 0.4.1 New version of 'realurl' available. Installed: 1.12.0 Latest: 1.12.1
First of all, let’s see the upload comments for those extensions:

Great! Now we even know that kb_md5fepw is deprecated. The extension manager doesn’t list deprecated extensions in the update panel as it seems. Oh well, let’s have a look at those local modifications that keep us from updating our extension.
$ ./extExtract.php direct_mail

Well, I don’t know what those changes do (actually, I totally do), but I better make sure I put them back after the update.
