I've got Moin 1.2.4 and attempted to migrate to 1.3.1. Installing the
software was trivial, running the scripts was straightforward (ie, no
errors), but when I tried access it it failed pretty badly. Meaning, it
looked like there was no Moin installed at all. (I don't recall errors,
although I posted the whole experience to the list a couple weeks back, with
no response.) Good thing for backups, as I completely reverted everything
to the 1.2.4 state.
I had a similar experience with the documentation trying to piece together
the upgrade instructions. Read doc A which refers to doc B which has
history details but doesn't have upgrade instructions however it does tell
you to refer you to doc C, etc. Like a mouse trying to find the piece of
cheese. :-)
I'll gladly resend the e-mail to the list if it seems noone received it.
