I am searching for an easy way to upgrade some thirty squishdot
sites from
version 0.3.2 to 0.7.3. The reason behind all this is that I want to migrate an existing site frome Zope 2.1.6. to Zope 2.2.2.
Hmmm, any particular reason for 2.2.2? Personally, I'd wait for Zope 2.3.1 and go for that instead.
Me to, I was just experimenting with a 2.2.2 version that was readily available.
With this number of sites, it might be worth writing an external method to do the upgrading for you.
Without any Python experience that sounds to me like embarking on a mission
Looks to the updateIndexing method of the SquishSite class around line 370 in Squishdot.py You may also want to include the stuff off the 'Upgrading' page on Squishdot.org. I think it's linked off the front page but I'm working off line so I can't be sure right now :-S
I exported my site from 2.1.6 and imported it in 2.2.2. Then, I tried to be clever and copied all items in the root folder of a newly installed squisdot site (with version 0.7.3) to replace the content of an old 0.3.2-site (residing now in my new Zope install 2.2.2.).
This is probably a good idea, but you need to get that 'update indexing' button to work first ;-)
This approach might be an alternative to writing an external method, then? I have been messing around with one of these sites. So, do I understand you correctly when I think that the 'update indexing' button should work on a 0.3.2 site that is imported in a zope install that runs Squisdot 0.7.2? When I try, however, I get that __cmp__ key error.
Recataloging gives an AttributeError (_catalog) with the following
Well, as you'll see from reading the updateIndexing method, one of the first things it does is create that attribute...
Update indexing did not work out eather. The first time Zope complained about the Vocabulary being already in use
Now, this I couldn't figure out at first. BUT, you said you'd copied the stuff from a new Squishdot site, which would have, of course, included the vocabulary, so deleting that copied vocabulary would be a necessary step to get the upgrade to work.
and after deleting the vocabulary I got a KeyError (__cmp__)
Yeah, sorry, this is a bug that slipped out in 0.7.3 :-( It's fixed in the Squishdot CVS and I'm hoping to release Squishdot 1.0.0 as soon as time will allow. If enough people badger me or Squishdot 1.0.0 seems to far off, I can make an interim release to solve the problem.
Let me know if you have any further problems,
As I highly appreciate your support, you can count on it.
cheers,
Chris
