[TYPO3-v4] Postponing 4.5 RC1

Hi,

I just stumbled on an issue related to that. I reported it here:

http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=17114

IMO this is an absolute show stopper as it will lead to broken TYPO3 
installations. Repeating what I said in the core list (in a thread about 
the workspace upgrade wizard):

<quote>
The method that adds extensions in the Install Tool is apparently very 
old and doesn't respect some features of the EM. Case in point when 
"extbase" is installed normally (via the EM), it is installed in both 
extList and extList_FE. It it also added first, because it has priority 
"top". The Install Tool adds it only to extList and adds it last. So if 
"extbase" is installed via this wizard, the user will end up with a 
broken configuration.

I have reported this in a separate report: 
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=17114

I've tried coming up with a patch, but it's very difficult because, 
partly because extension installation is not a simple process. It would 
be great if the EM could be called on, but this fails because it 
requires a "lang" object which we don't have in the BE. OTOH the process 
could be simplified in the Install Tool (for example because we know we 
are installing on sysexts), but I still couldn't come up with something 
quickly and didn't have time to dig further.
