Expand Up @@ -5,12 +5,14 @@ LedgerSMB is largely a drop-in replacement for SQL-Ledger. The initial release
includes a number of security and data integrity improvements, and future
versions will likely add new features as well.

To convert an existing SQL-Ledger installation to LedgerSMB, copy the files from
the tarball over your existing SQL-Ledger directory and run the SL2LS.pl script.
This script will rename some files, delete others, and pretty soon you will have
a working LedgerSMB installation.
As of SQL-Ledger 2.8, upgrading has not been as simple as converting files and
importing users. Both data and users must be imported. Currently we have no
native tool to import users, though with some effort the 1.2 import_users.pl
could be tweaked to insert users with preset passwords (perhaps valid for a
week).

The database will be updated on first login.

You will also want to migrate your configuration by running the SL2LS.pl script
included in this directory.
The database import scripts are still works in progress. The primary one is
sql/upgrade/sql-ledger2ledgersmb-wip.sql. At present it only does AP, but
could be extended to import AR transactions and customers as well with a little
effort. Also, much of 1.2-1.3.sql may be applicable and useful to importing
other parts of the database.
