old protoctol to new protocol gateway
This will be a java (?) app that will accept connections from 0.3 clients and will communicate with the new server.
as no 0.3 client knows about musicbrainz, it will need to md5 the url of the track to rate tracks with the new server.
Migrating from the old to the new server
Here are the steps to follow :
- Dump user database as CSV file, import it to the new DB (easy)
- Dump track database, see with sylvinus to import to the new DB (harder)
- Write a quick hack that gets all the old server ratings and sends it to the new server using the new protocol.
- Remove old server, use gateway !
