[Zope] Upgrading from 2.6.0

[Michael Brunnbauer]

hi all,

I was still running a 2.6.0-instance of Zope without upgrading it because
it was not publicly accessible. Big mistake! After upgrading from MySQL 5.5
to 5.6 the authentication protocol used by MySQL-python-0.9.0 is no longer
supported. The oldest version supporting the new protocol seems to be
MySQL-python-1.1.8 but Zope 2.6.0 comes with a precompiled Python 2.1.3
and MySQL-python-1.1.8 needs at least Python 2.3.

Now using the ZODB with Zope 2.13 does not work. I was hoping that 2.12.28
would work but

 virtualenv --no-site-packages 2.12.28
 cd 2.12.28
 ./bin/easy_install -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.28 Zope2

will get me this:

 error: ClientForm 0.2.10 is installed but ClientForm==dev,>=0.2.6 is required by set(['mechanize'])

Any idea on how to best migrate to a recent version? Export/Import also was
not made for that job...

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer
