Alrighty then, lets get to it:

Well, I looked at my old package, decided to remove it without looking at
dates and then grabbed the new one from the Midgard site. The dates on the
files are Dec 29, so I figured they must still be old, so I grabbed a CVS
copy.. The only major change I see is the Asgard+Admin+VMUC.sql file that
was added, and an updated xsg.conf. Everything else is the same.

Just FYI, all the sites are already created, and were originally all 1.2.5
sites which were progressively migrated along the beta path. So, I will have
some data from the current SG0 going into new group #1 and some going into
new group #2.

Yes, I have tried using XSG, this is the actual XML export that I have (in
addition to a SQL dump), but once I had the XML, I didn't know what to do
next. Someone mentioned editing this file, but the blob section made me
think twice about this idea. I do not have anything of my own in the blobdir
or DB though. This is all Asgard to my knowledge.
On with the show:
- DB Backup, check.
- New DB, called midgard2, check.
- Ripped midgard-data from CVS (gotta be newest, right?), check.
- empty.sql, check.
- midgard-en.sql, check.
- update-snippet-admin.sql, check.
- GUIDSforOLDSITE.sql, check.
- Create a new blobdir (mkdir -p /home/httpd/blobs2), check.
- Create midgard user (granted midgard rights to midgard2), check.
- Change repligard.conf (dbname and blobsdir), check.
- Repligard AsgardSite.xml... oops, forgot to copy the blobs (copied
from previous 1.4 install).. ok, check.
So far, so good.
