Migrating database from development back to stable?
Dear Galaxy developers, Currently our production Galaxy runs the stable branch. However, I see one or two reasons to want to run the development (default) branch for a while. This will involved migrating the database to a later version, which is fine, as migration scripts exists. What I am wondering is whether it is guaranteed that I will be able to get back onto stable at a later date, i.e. there will be a database migration path from whatever development database version I end up on, onto a future stable database version. Can anyone comment? cheers, Simon

Yes, this should not be a problem, eventually the revision you are running will be an ancestor of stable and from there you can just "upgrade" to the new stable. -- James Taylor, Associate Professor, Biology/CS, Emory University
