Hi Gaute,

That sounds like a plan of action :-)

Excerpts from Gaute Hope's message of 2013-04-13 19:37:01 +0200:

Is this related to getting rid of Iconv for Ruby 2.0.0, or is it a
separate issue? Otherwise, I would favor lumping it in the same release
together with IMAP syncback, since both require a migration step by the
user.

I've been using the imap syncback code by Damien Leone from ezyang's
branch for quite a while now (> 1 year) without any issues. It should be
fairly easy to cherry-pick the relevant commits into the development
branch.

+1 I'd also add deleting all unused code and other stuff (server code,
website, Redwood protocol stuff, etc.).

I thought about adding some functional tests (through the UI or
otherwise), since retrofitting unit tests is probably too much of a pain.
I need to figure out how the parts fit together some more, though.
Do you think that makes sense?

We could do the index migration like the imap syncback code does - it
recognizes that it wasn't done yet and asks you to run a command-line
tool.

How exactly will the config change? Possibly it easy to detect via
regular expressions or something?

Cheers,
