Bug #1604 *will* be fixed for 2.3.0. We hope to have 2.3.0 out in the next couple of weeks.
It's a *perfect* issue for someone to get started contributing to CouchDB as a developer! No Erlang necessary - as you mentioned, it's straightforward Python. If no one gets to it in the next few days, I'll pick up the issue before release. -Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter J Krawetzky" <pkrawet...@gmail.com> To: user@couchdb.apache.org, user@couchdb.apache.org Sent: Monday, October 1, 2018 8:39:03 AM Subject: Re: CouchDB 1.x to CouchDB 2.x So you just hit the very same issue I had which forced me to come up with my own process. I have opened a ticket with apache for this very issue. https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1604 What I ended up doing is extracting the permissions from each database to a file and then reapplied the permissions to each database once couchup was executed. Export: curl -X GET http://localhost:5984/{dbname}/_security > {dbname}.json import: curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/{dbname}/_security -d {dbname}.json -H "content-type:application/json" Good luck. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Andrea Brancatelli" <abrancate...@schema31.it> To: user@couchdb.apache.org Sent: 10/1/2018 7:13:31 AM Subject: CouchDB 1.x to CouchDB 2.x >Hello everybody. > >Today I upgraded the first CouchDB 1.7 to CouchDB 2.2 in production >with >the help of the marvellous couchup, by just coping the old .couch files >in the new locations. > >Everything went smoothly apart from some points: > > * The Documentation doesn't mention the need for the -i switch when >invoking couchup to migrate the _users and _replication databases. >Maybe >a note on this would be useful in scenarios when one is migrating an >entire machine. > * I had to manually reapply all the permission on the databases.
