Oh? I have also been doing a bit of work, looking into how to package the upstream migration scripts. As there is the problem that RT2 and RT3 conflict on a number of files, I wondered about creating an rt2-to-rt3 package that contained the scripts and all the libraries it needs (both rt2 and rt3) but in a completely separate directory, such as /usr/share/rt2-to-rt3/. This means that someone could migrate with either of rt2 or rt3 installed on the machine > There is a lot of functionality in RT2 that is not yet implemented > in RT3, which many people rely on.

I've heard of people still using RT1... Stephen Quinney
