Notes

  • Drupal is currently a point release behind (6.19 vs 6.20), are we handling upgrades or is GT?
    • Some other plugins, notably Google Analytics, are currently marked "not supported", and several others have updates available
  • Attempts to migrate one database to www-staging resulted in a variety of odd failures:
    • Not all tables were migrated when restoring from webif via backup created from webif on one, but restoring www-staging was without problems.
    • Attempts to use mysqlimport resulted in Access Denied errors (for the specific tables, not in general)
    Eventually solved via command mysql -u drupal -p drupal < drupal-one.sql.
  • Attempts to replicate the database on my local system resulted in a system that was similar to, but not identical, to the main Drupal site. Namely, I couldn't get the admin webif working.

Currently working on

Future tasks

  • Investigate the means by which we could import feeds a la planet.
    • We'll want to have a subset of Planet syndicated, subject to manual approval [medium, 3hr]
  • Determine a migration path for URLs on the old blog.laptop.org instance to Drupal
    • Current URL schemes are incompatible.
  • Figure out if we want to keep Wordpress for blog.l.o, and somehow integrate it with Drupal. This eliminates the above URL issue, but add new ones, namely:
    • Unify visual style. b.l.o looks decidedly un-one.l.o-like.
    • Single-user-login between Drupal and Wordpress.
  • Duplicate database for www-staging if it turns out to be needed, double check this.
  • Follow up on mailman migration with Ed et al. (talk with SJ/Adam re formulating specific rationale for upgrade)
