No that is wrong! There should be one e.g. http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.7/file/761c3a503be2/wiki/data/meta with this content if it is 1.7.0 If you have no meta file in your old wiki_instance/data then likly an older migscript before 1.5.3 wasn't invoked. Or you just don't have that file. The command moin ... migration data utility will only work if the meta file is present and has the right version of your old content. The migration utility was introduced after 1.5.3. If you need help see http://moinmo.in/Support. On top of the page is a link to our chat channel #moin on chat.freenode.net. cheers Reimar > >> If the content of the old instance is dependent to an older moin version >> you need to migrate it.
