As per the migration schedule, the final migration happens tonight. I'm
beginning work on this now, so expect some weirdness in the near future
I'm setting all users to "moerated posting" so that we can catch any
users that havent seen the change yet and gently redirect them to the
forum - if you have moderator permissions on the group, watch out for
that. Process should be to ask them to resend the email to
users>dev@community.theforeman.org and then once they have, delete the
post - that avoids needing any further data import from Google Groups
after today
The migration is done. The only hiccup was trying to merge my users together - there’s something special about my user (because it was the user created as part of the initial install) which went horribly wrong when I tried to merge it with my other users. This meant I had to restore a backup, so apologies if you got two copies of the welcome mail. Backup restore seems otherwise fine, so that’s a nice test
I’m confident this won’t affect anyone else having users merged together - I actually tested this in dev mode 2 months ago and hit exactly the same issue with my user (and only my user), I just completely forgot about it this evening . Silly me. Obviously I’ll be taking extra care with the first few merges to do it after a backup and during a quiet period though
As ever, get in touch if you see anything odd, but the backup appears to have restored cleanly, so I think it’ll be fine.
I’ve just tested this with @lzap’s two users, and the merge seems to have gone fine. Lukas, if you see any weirdness, let me know, but I think it’s OK
