Ok, here's a summary what happened when updating a small, lightly customized server from 2.0.34 to 2.5.03: 1- fileattr files that contained filenames with ampersands didn't get converted properly to fileattr.xml files. I had to exchange manually the '&' character in the file name attributes with "&". 2- Bo's CVSMailer needed updating and the backslashes in the script calls had to be replaced with slashes. (That's the only thing I call in scripts.) 3- I had problems with sandboxes that had CVSROOTs with the "username" and "server" keywords. Replacing those CVSROOTs with the standard format fixed this. 4- I'm not sure about the ACL transfer. I had the feeling this needed to be reviewed. You probably want to check the overall ACL default setting in the server options before you access the repository for the first time, as it seems that this determines how the permissions get transferred (which seems to happen when you access a module for the first time). I still miss an lsacl command that shows the effective permissions rather than the module settings. IMO this would make much more sense, as this is the only thing I really need to know. 5- And this one is the one remaining problem: A few repository files don't get processed by the new version, yet they got processed fine by the old version. I'm not sure yet what to do here; I probably will start investigating a bit the repository file format, since nobody seems to know what might be wrong with them. All in all it went smoother than I feared it would :) Gerhard
