Upgrading/Data Version 9

These instructions are for upgrading your database to data version 9. This update is for performance improvements so that icons can be renamed.

The first step is to upgrade to the lastest code as described in Updating the Dreamwidth code, including updating the database.

It's also recommended that you delete files that don't exist in the code anymore from $LJHOME:

cd $LJHOME
for i in $(bin/cvsreport.pl -n -1); do 
   echo "Removing $i" && rm $i; 
done

Then, you will want to run this program:

perl $LJHOME/bin/upgrading/d8d9-userpicrename.pl

Here's an example of the help output and usage output of the script:

dw@dw-dev:~$ ~/bin/upgrading/d8d9-userpicrename.pl --help

    --help      Print this help and exit
