[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#829380: Orthanc 1.2.0

[Karsten Hilbert]

Hello Sebastian,

may I ask for confirmation of the following behaviour:

If Orthanc is manually started for a DB upgrade

	(say, on Debian:)
	/usr/sbin/Orthanc --upgrade --trace /etc/orthanc/

BUT the database is already at the required version THEN
Orthanc will not run the upgrade and fall back to starting
up as if --upgrade was not specified on the command line.

The Orthanc book makes me think that when an upgrade is
actually run Orthanc will automatically stop after upgrading.

If you can confirm that Orthanc does NOT stop if no upgrade
is required even if --upgrade is specified then I would like
to ask for a change of this behaviour. Typically, one would
expect Orthanc to end up in the same state (DB upgraded and
server stopped) after an --upgrade run regardless of whether
an actual upgrade was performed.

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

That would make the process predictable and thereby
scriptable. The exit code would make it possible to
differentiate between success and failure where
nothing-to-do-because-up-to-date counts as success.

Any chance this can get implemented ?

(Should be pretty much a one-liner.)

Thanks,
Karsten
