The suggestion was taken and as of today we bundle south migrations with osqa. Thanks for the great suggestion espennilsen. |

Nice suggestions, espennilsen. South looks like an option that is well worth considering. We have touched on this issue of data migrations a little bit in our development discussions, and the idea of Django evolutions has been suggested. I'll need to understand better how South and evolutions are related, if at all. Still, it is helpful to see a concrete solution which might be able to handle the task well. Thanks! |

Hey espennilsen, as Rick said we have slightly touched this subject before, and we were considering django-evolution which is a native django app written by one of the django developers so is probably a good candidate to be included in the django core somewhere in a near future. However this is not a final decision, and your sugestion is taken and will be considered when we discuss this more seriously. You're invited to be part of that discussion by the way :-) I think Soutch is preferable to django-evolution, but I am not sure: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1590944/currently-using-django-evolution-is-south-better-and-worth-switching

I toke the time to test south after espennilsen posted this question, and I really appreciate it better than django-evolution. Specially because it works much better with data migrations and not only schema migrations.

Hum, I have studied south in the last few hours, and I think it looks more powerful and mature than django-evolution...
