Note for documentation re: upgrading to Django 1.7/1.8 and database upgrade #88

Closed neomanic closed 9 years ago

I was going through my app upgrading to 1.8 from 1.4 (LTS support) and django-paypal 1.2 to 2.1 and freaked out when I got to the django-paypal database upgrade instructions saying I had to do all the migrations before the Django 1.8 upgrade.

I figured out quickly fortunately that I could run:

./manage.py migrate ipn --fake-initial

and it did the job just fine.

Might be worthwhile adding this to the docs.

I think it kind of depends on which version of django-paypal you started with. I don't want to add something to the docs which misguides people. If we can work out when this is safe, I'm happy to add it.

Fair enough... this is probably reference enough now anyway if they start looking.
