Best way to upgrade Bricolage

I'm getting ready to put our data into a version of trunk, but I want
to do it on a new box without Apache1 and all the old perl modules.
What's the best way to do this sort of upgrade? Migrate the db and
the data folder, and then run an upgrade? Or unpack the whole
Bricolage package?

How about a clean install on the new box, and then a SOAP-extravaganza
to move all the stuff?

Cheers,

Bret

We've thought about that, but I fear the complexity of that sort of
solution.

Yeah, I don't recommend that. What i did was `make clone` on the old
box, and then `make install` on the new box. I then had to tweak
bricolage.conf and httpd.conf to work with Apache2, but otherwise it
all just worked.

Best,

David

Scott speaks from (painful) experience. Listen to him.

Best,

I concur. It seemed like a good idea, but in fact no, it was not.
