[turba] migrating some addressbooks forward to a newer turba release?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  hi, i want to follow up on some questions i had quite a number of
weeks ago regarding upgrading horde and a number of apps on a debian
server that was itself being upgraded in a huge way (currently running
lenny).  here's the situation.

  currently, on debian lenny server, i have the basic horde framework
installed -- from the horde admin setup page, i'm told it's version
3.3.4 so that's new enough for what i'm after.

  i have four SQL-format addressbooks that used to be accessible thru
a much older turba, and i obviously want to make them available thru
turba on *this* horde installation.  i did go through an exercise of
upgrading the addressbook formats, but it's hard to know if i did that
properly.  at the moment, in MySQL, i have a horde database with four
addressbooks:

  turba_clients
  turba_customers
  turba_objects
  turba_suppliers

if it's not unspeakably painful, i'd like to just install the most
recent stable version of turba (2.3.2) and hook those addressbooks in
again.  right now, in horde config, turba is listed as version 2.3.1
(maybe that's good enough for now unless there's a compelling reason
to switch), and it's listed as "Missing configuration. You must
generate it before using this application.", which i expected since i
haven't configured any of the addressbooks.

  given only four addressbooks, would it just be easiest to install
the latest fresh version of turba, then figure out what it takes to
hook one addressbook back in, at which point the rest should follow
quickly?  if memory serves, i had to change the schema of the
addressbooks but i don't remember how.  in any event, is it just
easiest to install a new turba 2.3.2, then do what it takes to add the
addressbooks back?  (possibly having to adjust the schemas if that
becomes necessary?)

  thanks.
