[aegir] Upgrading from alpha7 to alpha13 fails

[Christian Pearce]

Can you manually execute part of the upgrade to the database. Then set the version level of the database. Then run the upgrade again? 

Or can you upgrade to an intermediary version of aegir that doesn't include the call to 6009?

What we believe is happening is the hosting_update_6009 function queries the database (SELECT) for some table columns (port, restart_cmd) in hosting_service which do NOT exist, yet. This is done on line 271 in hosting.install:

$server = hosting_context_load('@server_master');

The hosting_web_server_update_6002 function is also querying the database (UPDATE) for unknown columns. This is done on line 62 in hosting_web_server.install:

db_query("UPDATE {hosting_service} SET restart_cmd = '%s', port = 80 WHERE nid=%d AND service='http' AND type = 'apache'", $obj->restart_cmd, $obj->nid);

The reason these columns don't exist yet is because they are part of another upgrade function, hosting_server_update_6003. In the log it looks like hosting_update_6009 runs BEFORE hosting_server_update_6003, which explains why the columns aren't available at that time. However, hosting_web_server_update_6002 appears to run AFTER hosting_server_update_6003, but is still complaining about unknown columns. Help!

I wasn't sure which Aegir component is at fault here, so I'm posting this to the new user mailing list as well as the G.D.O discussions here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/93279

P.S. I believe user hozt had the same issue when upgrading to alpha10 here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/86354#comment-270034 .
