Sounds good to me.
Is there a time when older versions will be taken out of updatedatabase.pl? At the moment, updatedatabase.pl is over 20,000 lines long. Maybe we could move the old entries into a 3to2105.pl script?

I adjusted the wiki page - https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Database_updates The different things to know about it: * The skeleton for atomic updates is modified [1] * On push the atomic updates are no longer appended to updatedatabase.pl <http://updatedatabase.pl> but moved to a new db_revs directory (named by version, like 210600016.pl <http://210600016.pl> for the entry 21.06.00.016) * Versions from 21.06.00.000 have been migrated to use this new mechanism, older are still in updatabase.pl <http://updatabase.pl> * updatabase.pl <http://updatabase.pl> is still the script to call if you want to upgrade the DB * Each DB rev (and atomic update) is executed in a transaction that rollbacks and stop the upgrade process if something went wrong * Old atomicupdate format will still work (but require more work for the RM) * Better error handling and better warnings possible * Nicer UI during the upgrade step (step3) Let me know if you have any questions!
