Hi Gaute,

A few days ago, I updated that wiki migration page to better reflect what a 
user can do if using Ruby 2.1. I did this specifically with the intent of 
redirecting Debian users who are updating. 

However, I updated it to the best of my understanding. Having not worked 
with syck, I am unfamiliar with the differences. In researching the issue 
via Google, I was under the impression that simply leaving the config files 
as-is would likely suffice. If you believe this is not the case, please 
update what I wrote on the wiki!

I tried creating a configuration with both 0.12.1 and 0.19.0, and there 
were no obvious differences in the files themselves. Can you clarify what 
should be changed if one was to manually recreate the config by hand?

Thanks,
Caitlin (Debian Ruby team)
