I have posted my complete example migration script to
<
http://installer.pbwiki.com/Example%20migration%20script%20for%20sq3-10-7159dev08-05-1>, I even tried to document it a bit! :)
It needs some editing of local paths and filenames, and you need to decide whether or not you actually want to perform the tasks.
You need to work through the script step by step the first time, executing each doit manually so you know what is happening. For scripts that it uses from
http://installer.pbwiki.com, you can pull up those sites in an Internet browser to see what they do.
It should provide many examples of working commands some of which took me a while to get working, like the load Workspace text from file one.
Keith recently said on #Squeak that --) Installer view 'whatever you want'. (-- will make a local text file of whatever script but I have not quite figured out how to use that yet.
If you do, please let me know, and please also let me know of any suggestions for improvement or any issues you run across.
Have fun!
