= EPrints version 2.3 to 3.0 migration toolkit =

Download at: http://files.eprints.org/135/

Currently v0.1

Running 
 # ep2to3config.pl ARCHIVEID
on your EPrints 2.3 system will generate a directory called ARCHIVEID_ep3cfg which will contain some cfg files for EPrints 3.0 and a notes.txt file with some additional comments in.

== What the current release does ==

Creates config files for:

* phrases (english only)
* workflows
* namedsets
* eprint and user fields configuration

Plus notes.txt with some notes of any tweaks it's made (it will remove or rename or otherwise modify some fields)

== What the current version doesn't do, but later releases should ==

* citations
* searches
* views
* export script to export in the EPrints 3.0 XML import format (including files). (this is nearly complete).
* spotting issues it can't handle and at least giving some advice on what needs to be done by hand
* converting document types into mime types would be nice, to make it more EPrints 3 ish.

== What the toolkit will (probably) never do ==

These will need to be done by hand

* handling for render_single type options in fields
* copying the template (you're better off re-doing it, as so many options have changed)
* the ArchiveRenderConfig methods will need porting, but that shouldn't be *too* hard, we've put in a hell of a lot of back compatability methods to smooth this.
* custom bits like LDAP based login
* You'll probably want to tweak the workflow to use the new features like autocomplete and multifield components etc.
