[Moin-user] Transfer MoinMoinDesktop 1.5.6 to 1.8.0

[Rick Vanderveer]

Jan,
Reimar is right, upgrade to 1.8.1 first.

Then, like Eric's suggestion, you need to run the update script. The script
will automatically comb thru your pages and correct the links for you.

For Windows:
>From the commandline (Start > Run... > type: cmd) and paste in something
similar to this (you will have to carefully substitute the paths to your
data):
d:\python25\python D:\moin-1.8.1\MoinMoin\script\moin.py --config-dir=d:\moin
-1.8.1\wiki\data --wiki-url=server.domain.com/mywiki migration data

The above will require a bit of experimenting (make sure you have a
backup!). Hope this helps!

-Rick
