Archiva 1.0 standalone to Archiva 1.1.2 in container migration check list

Howdy,

I'm planning an Archiva to Archiva migration, from one server to another. 
The first one is running standalone, the second one in a container.
The first one is running 1.0, the second one 1.1.2.

What would be my migration check list ?

Is copying over, security.properties, archiva.xml, users database and the 
repositories content enough ?

Thanks in advance

Paul
Happy archiva user for more than one year and counting :)
Thanks a lot for this good piece of software.

Good point. I just noticed that in Archiva 1.1.2 there is now a users 
directory is in {archiva.base}/data/databases/users/ instead of 
{archiva.base}/data/users/ as it was in Archiva 1.0.2.

Maybe if one of the migration steps were to copy that directory into the 
new location, it would update that information as needed to work with 
the new version. Is that what you're saying? You could also change the 
path to it in jetty.xml, but then it would be a non-standard directory 
layout, which might make things more difficult later?

Thanks,

Gary

That shouldn't have happened.  I think the users database is at a
different relative path, so if you copy over a parent directory, it
doesn't land in the "right" place (according to the data source
configuration jetty.xml).

Not a big deal we're not 200 using this archiva :)
