I have been trying out 5.0.0b1 to ensure that the weewx-`weather34 skin I maintain is compatible and have noticed an oddity when moving my existing weewx.sdb database file across.
I installed using the pip installer method which was impressively smooth, ran for a while with the simulator, then installed the GW1000 Gateway driver. I then made a copy of my existing database file, stopped the new install and moved the copy across, restarted. On looking at the syslog, I noticed that there was an error writing to the database as the database file was reported as read only. At this point, I updated the ownership and permissions from the command line but got the same error report. I took another copy of the database file, same result. Eventually the only way I could get the database file into a writable condition was to use wee_database —drop-daily and —rebuild. I have never had a problem of copying a mature database file across to a new installation before. It was doubly baffling as I assume that it would not be possible to use —drop-daily and —rebuild if the the database file was truly read only.
