12 <p>Lots of people are moving from various other SourceForge
13 codebases to GForge. Here's some notes on how to do this. Please post
14 comments/questions/improvements to the <a
15 href="http://gforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6">forums</a>.
16 <p><b>SF 2.5 or SF 2.6 to GForge</b> <br>
17 <p>The basic steps are:
19 <li>First run a <code>apt-get install
20 gforge-sourceforge-transition</code>. This dumps the database into <code>/var/lib/sourceforge/sf_dump_for_gforge</code>.
24 <li>Now <code>mv /var/lib/sourceforge /var/lib/gforge</code>
25 <li>Now run a <code>apt-get install gforge</code>. This will find
26 the database dump and import it automagically.
27 <li>If all goes well, <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge</code>
28 will be renamed <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge.ok</code>. If
29 something fails, it'll be renamed to <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge.ko</code>.
33 <li>Note that <code>apt-get install gforge</code> will also remove
34 the <code>gforge-sourceforge-transition</code> package.

50 thread on the forums. Looks like there are some database changes which
51 might cause problems; not sure what those are.
