OpenInteract2::Manual::Conversion is a Perl module which allows you to move your site and custom packages from OI 1.x to 2.x.
SYNOPSIS
This part of the manual will describe how to migrate your website and packages from OpenInteract 1.x to OpenInteract 2.x.
BASE REPOSITORY ^
There is no more base repository! (The crowd cheers.) Every website stands on its own, every package's classes sit in the 'OpenInteract2::' namespace. This makes for much simpler development and deployment.
WEBSITE
All this should require is translating your server configuration and any database schema changes.
Server Configuration
First off, OI 2.x exclusively uses the INI file format for the server configuration. OI 1.x allowed you to use either the serialized Perl data structure or the INI format. Hopefully you will see this as a good thing.
There are no automatic conversion utilities for your server configuration. The best thing to do is open both configuration files in parallel editing windows and compare, copying relevant information from your old file into the new one. ('C-x 3' in emacs is good for this sort of thing...)
The basic structure of the configuration files is the same. New information has been added -- datasources are unified, some names have changed, etc. -- but generally you'll find information in the same general location.
(TODO: Create a utility to pull information out of an existing INI format and update the default one with it? Not all of the information, just the highlights...)
