Which method did you use to upgrade?

I've just added an UPGRADE document to the repository, the contents
of which I'll reproduce here after noting that I've only tested the
third method (OPML export/import):


Upgrading from FeedOnFeeds:
===========================

Here are three different ways to upgrade from FeedOnFeeds 
to FeedOnFeeds-Redux.  We don't recommend any one method 
over another; do what's easiest for you.


Option 1: Use Your Existing Database
------------------------------------

Follow the instructions in INSTALL but skip Step 2, where
you would create a new database.  In Step 4, when you
edit config.php, use information about your existing
FeedOnFeeds database.  (Note: Do not simply copy your
old config.php from FeedOnFeeds to your FeedOnFeeds-Redux
directory; we've added new configuration items in this
file.)


Option 2: Use a Copy of Your Existing Database
----------------------------------------------

Make a copy of your existing FeedOnFeeds database:
 shell> mysqldump feedonfeeds_db > feedonfeeds_db.sql
Make a new database for FeedOnFeeds-Redux:
 mysql> create database fofredux_db;
Copy the schema and data from your FeedOnFeeds database
to your new one:
 shell> mysql fofredux_db < feedonfeeds_db.sql
Follow the instructions in INSTALL, skipping Step 2.


Option 3: Create a New Database
-------------------------------

Follow the instructions in INSTALL.  In your old FeedOnFeeds
installation, export your feeds as an OPML file by clicking
on "subscription list as opml" and saving that XML file.  Once
you have FeedOnFeeds-Redux set up, import your feeds using
that OPML file at the Add Feeds page.
