Update:Remora Database Migration
This page is about the migration from the v1 database to the new (remora) database structures.
The Utility
The Python script that does the migration has all sorts of fun features, exciting options, as well as providing thrilling output. It is a wholesome command line program.
Installation
The script is called migration.py and lives in svn at .../trunk/services/bin
The script has two Python library dependencies:
- cse -- using svn at GoogleCode: http://csepython.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
- MySQLdb -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

Feedback
If we don't migrate add-ons which are only compatible with fx 1.0, then users can upload add-ons with the same em:ID and then users who might have had the old add-ons still installed but disabled (or who are still using fx 1.0) will be updated to the new one.
