My company has been using ReviewBoard successfully for quite some time, and everyone seems to like it.
However, I'm trying to upgrade past 1.7.7.1, and run into a bevy of trouble. Just running the site upgrade didn't work - perhaps something weird about my configuration, but on the target machines, if I have my 1.7.7.1 MySQL MyISAM tables, they refuse to upgrade even to 1.7.8. (I did this with an *empty* database with no reviews in it, and it still didn't migrate). If the starting database is uses the InnoDB engine, the upgrade to 1.7.8 fails, because a key gets too big). Apparently, I can work around *that* problem by sticking: innodb_large_prefix=on into /etc/mysql/my.cnf OK, so the strategy to move forward seem to be to migrate all my data from MyISAM to InnoDB via rb-site manage .... dumbdb and loaddb. However, that *also* "fails" in the sense that not all my data is being imported, due to foreign key problems. I started looking at them, and realized that some of them are genuine problems that must some how be addressed. - last_login being null (my fault, due to integration with external authentication, easy to fix) - extra permissions in the auth_permissions table (presumably I can correct this by deleting no-longer-needed permissions flags) - deleted users (I don't know how they were deleted, I don't have that enabled! I can work-around this issue by re-adding "deleted" but inactive users) ... I don't know what other problems I'll uncover, but I expect that I'll uncover them. Before I go through that trial and error work, is there any tool out there that will diagnose and potentially fix all the issues? I know that 1.7.7.1 is a fairly old version (partly why I'm trying to bring the darn thing current!), so I don't expect that someone has anything for exactly this version - but perhaps for a later version, that I can adjust for the older database schema?
