[Systems] Migrating Pootle from Justice to Bender

[James Cameron]

G'day Ibiam,

I'll reply in context below.  I don't have access to Bender, so can't comment on the plan completely, but I'll mention what I can.

No need to backup user directories, let the users transfer what they need.

Good opportunity to fix that typo.  Sugaralabs.

None of these should be migrated as is.  Instead, whatever function is being performed should be reimplemented on the later operating system release on Bender.

You may find the previous migration plan there useful.

Also, you may find it very helpful to copy the virtual machine to your own lab, bring it up in isolation, and bring up a replacement using the same operating system release as Bender.  That will give you a list of steps that you have tested.  It won't need to support mail, but that's a minor component.

Hope that helps!
