The upgrade code I know is the typical libdb-backend upgrade code like
in e-book-backend-file.c, right? But there could also be other kinds
of migration problems like the imap4rev1->imap4 for example..

We usually implement migration paths from old data formats to new
directly in the program, with support for old formats going back as far
as version 1.4 (I believe).  So I don't forsee any upgrade problems.

But don't quote me on that.  :)

[Evolution-hackers] Upgrade path from 2.6 to 2.10

2007-04-14 Thread Øystein Gisnås
Are there any changes in the data format between 2.6 and 2.10.1? Or
anything else that may cause trouble without installing 2.8 in
between?

We're considering to package 2.10.1 as a replacement for 2.6.3 in the
Debian distributions. If there are any possible upgrade problems, we'd
like to investigate that before the upload

Cheers,
Øystein
