As of PTlink 3.5.0 the text based .dconf files were replaced with db stored settings. # To make sure the new required modules will be loaded on startup do: # rm ~/ircsvs/etc/ircsvs.modules before "make install" To import the settings from the .dconf files proceed as described: # Dump all the .dconf to a single file cat ~/ircsvs/etc/*.dconf > ~/full.dconf # Now run the imput script on it source_dir/utils/import_dconf.sh ~/full.dconf > ~/dconf.sh cd ~/ircsvs/bin sh ~/dconf.sh # Cleanup the tmp files, they have the mysql db passwords rm ~/full.dconf ~/tmp/dconf.sh # Please note that you must manually configure the NickSecurityCode option # because its function was inverted.
