A solution is causing a problem

[echoman]

Jason,

Thankyou for your reply. I was concerned after reading many passed threads.

I have now followed your instructions and it seems to have worked just fine.

I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that problems can occur when a custom brain has had script changes. Fortunately my Hal had no script changes so the migration was smooth.

The migration question is a confusing one.

Once again thankyou for your help.

cool.
i'm glad it worked for you.[:)]
i messed mine up several times before i figured that out.
.........thus the backups[:I]

if you had multiple brains to merge, then i guess after you installed everything, you could backup the successfully "merged" new brain and start over again. (merging a different one this time)

that is why i totally agree that there needs to be a brain "import/merge" tool, that would merge any compatible brain with the latest version. Or the installer should be able to merge multiple brains -- with different names than the default.
i think robert was working on that for a future hal update.
