Hello,
I've now sorted out my problems with porting to Magic Removal - I'll pass
on what I've learned:
> o When I run "manage.py runserver" I get this:
>
> admin.logentry: 'user' has relation with uninstalled model User
> admin.logentry: 'content_type' has relation with uninstalled model
> ContentType
This was because settings.py only listed the built-in
"django.contrib.admin" package, and not the packages it relies on
("django.contrib.contenttypes", "django.contrib.sessions" and
"django.contrib.auth"). Given that it all worked on the trunk, I guess
the dependencies used to get pulled in automatically but no longer do.
> o When I log in as my superuser to the admin site, I get "You don't have
> permission to edit anything".
This was because it didn't think there was anything to edit (a poor error
message IMHO). "manage.py syncdb" wasn't creating the necessary admin
database entries because my applications used the old directory structure
(project/apps/appname/models/modelname.py) rather than the new structure
(project/appname/models.py). Once I'd restructured things, syncdb worked
like a charm.
Question: is there any documentation on this change of structure? I don't
believe the RemovingTheMagic page covers it, unless I missed something.
> o When I run "manage.py sqlinitialdata myapp" I get the following output:
>
> BEGIN;
> COMMIT;
>From what others have said, I think this is correct. But in that case,
the description in the tutorial is misleading: "Outputs any initial data
required for Django's admin framework and your models." That's not true -
if it were true, it would at least output the necessary SQL to populate
django_content_type and auth_permission.

I've spent many hours on this aspect of my port - improvements would be
most welcome!
Thanks to those who helped me with this, and I hope it might be useful to
others going through the porting process.
As an aside: I am *so* glad I have a decent set of Selenium tests
(http://www.openqa.org/selenium-ide/) for my app. I had no idea the MR
port would be such a major edit.
