Comment (by johanneswilm): Is anyone working on fixing this in Django itself? The workarounds may work in a lot of cases, but when you have an application set up to rely on the Django migration system for any database change and have it deployed on thousands of servers that are not under your direct control, it is somewhat useless. Would it not be possible to create one special type of migration for this purpose? Maybe something as simple as let the migration that creates the user model check wither `auth.User` has been in use, and if so, copy over entries from there. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25313#comment:23> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
