Use lock_db class for queue locking in 3.1

Oleg added a comment - 05/Dec/12 5:24 AM (14:31:03) bantu: nx-: there is a ticket for converting messenger lock to db (14:31:10) bantu: I'm not sure whether that would actually work (14:32:45) bantu: because you can not just replace flock with db lock (14:32:50) bantu: it changes behaviour (14:32:56) nx-: bantu: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/1118#issuecomment-11011741 (14:33:05) nx-: bantu: how so? (14:33:21) bantu: db lock doesn't block forever but just returns false (14:33:41) nx-: ok (14:33:44) nx-: so we'll have to account for that? (14:34:00) nx-: uhh (14:34:03) nx-: who actually checks that? (14:34:33) nx-: well, cron in fact does (14:34:34) nx-: who knew (14:35:40) bantu: it works for cron (14:35:55) bantu: because cron just doesn't run in that case (14:36:05) bantu: but when you want to send a message, you have to send a message ... (14:36:20) nx-: there is an easy solution to that (14:38:17) nx-: put messages in db (14:38:47) bantu: yup
