Migrate users to iBlocklist lists #65

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Since we're now defaulting to iBlocklist lists in the program, we should
code some "migration assistance" to help users who've already installed
v0.9.2 switch from PeerGuardian-hosted lists to iBlocklist ones.

What I'm thinking is a new non-displayed config-file setting called
"ListMigrationPrompted" or something, defaulted to False.  When the program
starts up it will check to see whether this value is False, and if so will
display a messagebox asking if the user would like to migrate his lists
away from pg-hosted to iblocklist-hosted servers.  If the users clicks Yes
it will automatically update any pg-hosted lists in their
currently-configured list of lists, and change the URL for them to point to
iBlocklist ones (and delete the Gov one, if present).  If the user clicks
No, it won't.  And either way, it will set the config-option to True so
that it never asks  this question again.

What we do now is check the (new) LastVersionRun config item, and if it's less 
than
r135 we'll go through the currently-configured lists and switch any
peerguardian.sourceforge.net hosted ones over to iblocklist.com hosted ones; 
we'll
also remove the old Gov list since it's unused (merged into P2P), and throw away
duplicate list entries if for example the user previously had both iblocklist
"Bluetack Level1" and the PG2 "P2P" entries in there.
