Yay!

No. I am afraid not.

https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Migration-0.13-to-0.14

But the migration script for the config files does not work with newer
versions of Ruby, that means you need to re-create your config set up.

0.12.1 is way out of date! It is, unfortunately, beyond the time I've
had to maintain a clean migration path from it up to the current
release. It is from pre ruby 1.9.

Something like this should work:

o. back up ~/.sup and remove the config files from ~/.sup
o. use sup-dump to back up the index
o. upgrade sup
o. manually recreate the config either using sup-config or by hand
o. set up sources.yaml to match your previous sources.yaml
o. new sup should work with the db, make sure that _source ids_ match
in new configs!!
o. alternatively, re-index and sup-import the dump.



Cheers, Gaute
