Very, very cool. Best piece of news I received today. We're in the process of setting up a brand new Linux-based Zope 2 server. If anything goes wrong in upgrading the database, I _will_ you guys know. ;-) -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin.

I hope I'm not jumping the gun here, but I tested the first round of Jim's database conversion script today. The first run was not sucessful, due to the laxer nature of ZOSB2's transaction format. After scoping that bug, Jim fixed things so that my ZODB2 database converted cleanly into a ZODB3 one.

The script can be found in the latest CVS in the utilities directory. The command is:

python1.5.2 bbb.py -f input.database output.database

We would like some people to test this against their ZODB2 databases, but PLEASE:

- be careful. Back up *all* of your data to a safe place before attempting it.

- report any conversion bugs or tracebacks to the list and support@digicool.com. We are interested in your experiences with the script.

- we only recomment this for 2.0 alpha users who have a nice fat ZODB2 database they want to convert over. This is *not* stable software. This is the very first revision. It will probably break for some people, we want those people to help us improve it, but please come into the experiment with the intention that something will go wrong, and *send in those bug reports* we do pay attention to them.

Thanks!

-Michel
