When running maintenance/update.php I've noticed that Semantic MediaWiki issues this: ... changing type of field smw_iw from 'VARBINARY(32) NOT NULL' to 'VARCHAR(32) binary NOT NULL' ... done. on every run. For large Semantic MediaWiki sites this will run for a while with a notable pause. If I rerun update.php immediately again, it will do this step again, and again. Even though it claims "done", it doesn't seem to be. I don't notice any issues on my wiki from this. All seems fine. But something is amiss here.
Confirmed. I've also seen this. More reason to ditch the crappy spaghetti code doing this and write something based on top of https://github.com/wmde/WikibaseDatabase/blob/master/README.md
