python-django (1.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium Django 1.7 has a new feature to handle database schema upgrade called "migrations" which is incompatible with South (provided by python-django-south in Debian). If you have Django applications using South, you will need to install Django 1.6 to run pending migrations. This *must* be done first before running any Django 1.7 migrations. There is a script included with this package to automate the task of installing Django 1.6 and south into a virtualenv and running the migrations. apt-get install virtualenv sh /usr/share/doc/python-django/examples/migrate-south --settings app.settings Replace app.settings with the settings module your app uses. Django 1.7 comes with many new features and some backwards incompatible changes. They are well documented in the Django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/internals/deprecation/#deprecation-removed-in-1-7 -- Raphaƫl Hertzog Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:20:37 +0200
