Hi,

Is there an easy way to convert the database from Koji 1.2.6 to work 
with this new release?

Importing the initial packages took a very long time, and as such, 
starting with a fresh database is undesirable. Or has the import speed 
improved drastically with this release?

Thanks,

-Brian Schubert

There is an upgrade script
(/usr/share/doc/koji-1.3.1/docs/schema-upgrade-1.2-1.3.sql) to upgrade
an existing database the 1.3 format.

Note that the external repos support may allow you to avoid an initial
import altogether, in many cases.  There is documentation forthcoming on
how to setup external repos.  In the meantime you can ask questions in
#koji on Freenode.
