<h2><center>Migrating to GForge HOWTO</center></h2>
<h3><center>Updated 1/19/2004</center></h3>
<p>
Lots of people are moving from various other SourceForge codebases to GForge. Here's some notes on how to do this. Please post comments/questions/improvements to the <a href="http://gforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6">forums</a>.
<p><b>SF 2.5 or SF 2.6 to GForge</b>
<br>
<p> The basic steps are:
<ul>
<li>First run a <code>apt-get install gforge-sourceforge-transition</code>. This dumps the database into <code>/var/lib/sourceforge/sf_dump_for_gforge</code>.
<li>Now <code>mv /var/lib/sourceforge /var/lib/gforge</code>
<li>Now run a <code>apt-get install gforge</code>. This will find the database dump and import it automagically.
<li>If all goes well, <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge</code> will be renamed <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge.ok</code>. If something fails, it'll be renamed to <code>/var/lib/gforge/sf_dump_for_gforge.ko</code>.
<li>Note that <code>apt-get install gforge</code> will also remove the <code>gforge-sourceforge-transition</code> package.
</ul>

<p><b>debian-sf to GForge</b>

This has been done - see <a href="http://gforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=173&forum_id=6">this</a> thread. Theme preferences may go away, but they can easily be reset.
<p><b>SF Enterprise to GForge</b>
<br>
This has been done - see <a href="http://gforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=148&forum_id=6">this</a> thread on the forums. Looks like there are some database changes which might cause problems; not sure what those are.
