Upgrade from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2
Hi! Some days ago i posted to the mailing list a request of help about upgrade or dont upgrade my zope server! First of all, thanks to the people that gave me an input. Your suggestion was to go for upgrade, so i performed this tasks: 1) zope installation; 2) copy /Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86/var/Data.* in /Zope-2.6.2-linux2-x86/var/ 3) copy /Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products in /Zope-2.6.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products Well, i started Zope and all went ok. Is this the correct way to migrate from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2? In particular, is zodb shipped with 2.6.1 100% compatible with zodb in 2.6.2? Thanks once again! Paolo Dina
The ZODB should be fine. I upgraded from 2.5.2 to 2.6.2b5 and 2.6.2 with the same ZODB (Data.fs). If there are any errors, it should show up as you start up (you did first try it with debug on right?). BZ

Pretty much. Your product copying isn't quite optimal. Some things in zope/lib/python/Products ship with Zope, and may have been upgraded. Your procedure may have lost those upgrades. With the default setup, you should probably copy only those products which you have added over (or refuse to over-write anything, I suppose.) The best way is to make an INSTANCE_HOME setup, and then you needn't copy anything at all. All your modified stuff stay put. The ZODB format is v. stable, and you may be able to run a Zope 1.9.2 ZODB with a modern Zope. FYI, the products that ship with Zope are ExternalMethod MIMETools MailHost OFSP PageTemplates PluginIndexes PythonScripts Sessions SiteAccess SiteErrorLog StandardCacheManagers TemporaryFolder Transience ZCTextIndex ZCatalog ZGadflyDA ZSQLMethods ZopeTutorial __init__.py __init__.pyc --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
