Public bug reported: Binary package hint: migration-assistant
Migration-assistant should allow the following: 0) Operation Before, During, and After install. 1) Create new accounts 2) As mentioned in some ubuntu task documents, allow for backup/archiving accounts to other media in the case of a destructive (replacing) install. 3) Restore/copy zero or more accounts in to a target user account (specifying order). 4) Reverse migration in case Linux fails to sell it's self. That is copying documents/settings back. Installs which involve destroying the source partitions could invoke migration in backup only mode (and limit backup locations to those which already exist and will continue to do so). Settings could be backed-up/restored. Re-migration from other operating systems/installs could occur just before destroying the retiring part of a multi-boot system (without being forced to use the whole install process to invoke migration). ** Affects: migration-assistant (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Migration Assistant should be usable outside the installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
