I agree, I don't think we want to transparently support the old format, for exactly that reason. > As for the migration, there are three possibilities: > 1) migrate transparently on first call; > 2) error-out on old format, instructing to run with the --migrate > option; > 3) error-out on old format, instruct to run another program to do the > migration. > > But the migration might not be that easy: some people (like me) may have > commented sections in their current .pwclientrc, so it is easier to > switch projects. > > So, that's why I just decided to error-out on the old format, rather > than either migrate or support the legacy format. > > Of course, the new .pwclientrc downloaded from the project's page should > be changed to include instructions on how to migrate, if needed. If it's feasible to upgrade the .pwclientrc (while saving a backup), then that would be nice. Otherwise, let's error out, and print a URL to a little guide (under /help/) to manually migrate.
