Consider it a work in progress. There are several external projects working on this: http://code.google.com/p/django-evolution/ http://code.google.com/p/dmigrations/ http://south.aeracode.org/ http://www.bitbucket.org/DeadWisdom/migratory/ http://code.google.com/p/deseb/ In addition, the creators of the first 3 of these projects featured in a panel discussion at DjangoCon 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSq8m00p1FM Following that meeting, they (that is, Simon Willison, Andrew Godwin and myself) started a SIG: http://code.google.com/p/django-migrations-sig/ with the aim of getting "the one true migration framework" into the Django core as a contrib package. Progress on the SIG has stalled - mostly due to other commitments, like getting features ready for Django v1.1. However, I have hopes that we can resurrect the discussion for the v1.2/v1.3 timeframe.
