Upgrade userinfo-dicts to memberobjects

[Guido Wesdorp]

Since the way Silva stores userinfo (last_author_info) has
drastically changed for the new version, there needs to be a
way to upgrade existing content to use this functionality.
There is a method available on the Silva root now, which has
to be thoroughly tested and then moved to a more generic
upgrade method (which should also take care of the rest of
the upgrade).

Are there any plans for the "more generic upgrade method" ?
I actually had something in mind when creating
http://issues.infrae.com/silva/issue150
Should I elaborate, or better keep progress on "my" issues? ;-)

I would like a more generic upgrade method. Monday I
discussed this with Zagy, unfortunately he's ill this week.
Deferring to that issue (issue150) for discussion.

Guido (johnny) created a way to upgrade the dictionaries
to member objects. This should be tested again before
the release.

Random test report: running "upgrade_memberobjects"
seemd to run on my test instances w/o problems.
 However I had already edited quite a lot of objects,
thus there has not been a lot of content objects
who needed to update.
 (... should have made a backup of the original state
of the Data.fs form 0.9 ...)

I ran the script w/o problems too. How can we be sure that
this is properly tested? I hesitate to set this to resolved..

[Guido Wesdorp (guido-infrae)]

Don't be scared... I've used the code a couple of times and
it did the trick quite well... I have to say that there were
some other issues then as well, but I think it works quite
okay...

[Martijn Faassen (faassen)]

Resolving this one; seems to have gotten enough testing for
now. Should test it on a real big database, perhaps.
