Hi Federico, >From the discussion on django-developers it looks like the patch will be reverted soon so you may find in due course things will start working again with SVN for the 1.2 branch (however with Django 1.3 support for 7 will likely be dropped). It doesn't sound like you particularly need to be using the SVN version, since 1.2 has been released, so I'd suggest just grabbing 1.2.1 and using that instead of SVN for your blog as that doesn't have the patch which broke things working with postgresql 7.
In terms of upgrading from 7 to 8 on debian it's the same as upgrading from 7 to 8 on any system, you have to do it via data dumps and imports rather than postgresql being able to upgrade the data files in- place. There were some changes in the dump formats so to do a big jump safely unfortunately what you really need is to run the pg_dump command from version 8 talking to your version 7 server, and even then with the later versions of 8 if you were using the tsearch2 full-text index module there can be some problems as it's moved to being in the core. Have a look at the section of the postgresql manual on migration and if you want to know the gory details of any backwards-incompatible changes also at the release notes for the 8.0 release and every minor release up to the version you're intending to run (you can skip over the point release release notes tho' as they don't tend to introduce backwards-incompatibilities in point release changes). It will, in part, depend on whether your version of webmin works with version 8. I guess you'll have to make the jump to 8 eventually tho' even if you hold off for now :) Matt On Jun 9, 2:53 pm, Federico Capoano <nemesis.des...@libero.it> wrote: > I see.
