Changes

{{man tip|Note:|Commencing with Gramps 3.1.2 all official versions of Gramps XML files can be imported. However, a warning will be given on import of 1.0.0 xml. [http://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/message/23262334/]}} If you have an old [Category:Documentation[Gramps XML]] database generated '''some years ago''', then you may have some difficulties to import it into last stable release.  '''Gramps-1''' did not store '''[[Events_in_Gramps|event]]''' as primary object and did not use bsddb references.

* The safety way is to import it into '''[http://sourceforge.net/projectprojects/gramps/files/Stable/showfiles2.2.php?group_id=25770&package_id=109309 10/ Gramps-2] ''' and to export this updated database. This will generate a new Gramps XML more compatible for an import into '''Gramps-3'''.**If you your operating system do does not support '''Gramps-2 ''' any more as some dependancies dependencies has been removed since '''Gramps-2 ''' (''GCONF, gnome-doc-utils, yelp, python-reportlab, libglade, etc...'') or updated like python libs and related, then you could have a look at [[Linux_Genealogy_CD|Linux Genealogy Live CD]] archives. * Also, you may [[Using_the_bug_tracker|submit your old database on bug-tracker]], mark this report as '''private''' (''will be hidden for non-developers'') and a developer will try to help you for updating your database. * related to bug {{bug|6129}} : I downloaded the gramps 2.2.10 on my ubuntu 11.10 and did the following : $ tar xzvf gramps-2.2.10.tar.gz $ ./autogen.sh $ make $ python src/gramps.py then * import the 20060115.grdb ( your grdb file ) * export in gramps xml To run gramps 2.2.10 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 install the following first: sudo apt-get install gnome-common sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev sudo apt-get install gnome-doc-utils sudo apt-get install glade-gtk2 You can now load the new created file in your last gramps version. I hope it will work for everybody. I choose 2.2.10 because the original file was 20060115 : at this period, gramps was 2.2. or 2.0. So I used the last 2.2 available version. If this had not worked, I think I would have tried the last 2.0.11 available version. ==Experimental== XML databases generated by '''Gramps-1''' are not lost as they are written into a documented open format. If a XML/XSL wizard planned to generate a script, [[Media:123xsl.gz|here]] an experimental and partial test, which try to migrate a part of data to an other Gramps XML file, according to last [http://gramps-project.org/xml/ XML DTD]. Old Note:''Event, Repository and Note references are broken because they was not primary objects on '''Gramps-1'''. If someone knows how to handle this, then feel free to do changes.'' ==See also==* [[Generate XML]]* [[GEDCOM]]* [[Gramps and GEDCOM]]* [[Database_Formats]]
