Description

Hi,

I had a weird issue upgrading this morning: I was running an older version (March 2021 I believe), which was installed by git clone'ing this repo.

This morning I did a git pull, followed by a make prod and a restart of the comment-server.

When checking the site, I saw that no comments were loaded, and when logging in, I noticed a few PostgreSQL errors on the console. I quickly determined that the last few migrations hadn't run.

I then noticed that the .sql migration files were placed in ~/commentoplusplus/build/prod/db/db, while the other (March) sql files where in ~/commentoplusplus/build/prod/db.

After I copied all .sql files from the db/db dir to the db dir, and kicked the server, everything ran.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the Makefile and build scripts to locate the bug causing migration files to be copied into a nested 'db' directory instead of the intended 'db' directory. Trace the path generation logic and identify where the double directory occurs.
