[Plone-docs] IMPORTANT: Plone 1.0.x -> 2.0 RC2 Migration

[alan r. <ru...@ru...>]

I committed the first quick attempt to migrate an existing 1.0.x
site to Plone 2.0.  I did it with the plone.org Data.fs and from
afar it looks to be OK.  Not 100%.

   - First we will not be migrating people's slots to the 'new' portlet 
names.
   People can do that themselves - else things should continue if they 
are
   using the old 'slots' pagetemplates.

   - you will need to remove your header and main_template if you had
   customized it.

   - on the migrations for some reason the portal_types and 
portal_propeties
   action_providers are not staying.  so we need to address this (or just
   bolt it on to the portal_actions.action_provides attribute)

   - skins request variable isnt kept.  since its tossed most likely 
things will break
   it needs to be called 'plone_skin' (2 minute fix)

   - I registered the migration code so it should work.  but the 
migrations seem to
   be broken.  so I created a function called 'doit' and symlinked the 
oneX_2beta2.py
   migration script into CMFPlone/Extensions as migrate and just ran the 
doit method
   on the portal to see the migration.

need help with testing.  If we could get someone who is committed to 
the 'migration
experience' I would appreciate that.  I have done most of what I can 
do.  Please
test on a copy of your production databases.

cheers,
