Unfortunately, while this is technically possible (I haven't done it myself, but I know at least one person who says they have), it's very complex and requires a fair amount of familiarity with the migrations system and use of the advanced SeparateDatabaseAndState operation. And nobody, AFAIK, has written documentation on how to do it. I don't believe this is really an acceptable state of affairs, so I've filed https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25313 to at least clearly acknowledge that it _ought_ to be fixed. I don't know when I'll get a chance to work on it myself (not real likely unless I revisit an old project, because nowadays I _always_ start every project with a custom User model, to avoid this problem). Maybe the ideal scenario here is that you figure it out and then write the docs on how it's done :-) Sorry I can't give you a better answer, Carl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
