I would assume that "roundup-admin install" would
create a new style tracker with a config.ini, but it
creates an config.py. (the message at the end of the
install process points me to config.ini too).

After editing "config.py" I run "roundup-admin init":

Enter tracker home: /var/roundup/publisher/
Admin Password:
       Confirm:
Error: Instance has not been installed

If I ignore that and try to run this tracker using the
mod python front end I get this error in my apache
error log:

it looks like you didn't cleanly uninstall 0.7 before
installing cvs version.  you have config.py files left in
share/roundup/templates/.  if that is the case, please
remove directories site-packages/roundup/ and share/roundup/
altogether, and then reinstall the cvs verison.

of course, 'roundup-admin install' should create new-style
tracker.

Yes, that was it.   Perhaps the install target in the
setup.py needs to check for old files and give a warning?

i'd prefer to have a note on that in upgrading.txt and not
create custom install class.

please make a patch for setup.py if you wish, but don't
forget about binary distributions and windows installations.
 i wouldn't like to have binary distributions more difficult
to install than the source package.  i don't know how to
reliable do that check from binary installation (especially
on windows), so you will have to find that out yourself.

... hm.  alternatively, we could reject old-style templates
in roundup-admin install procedure.  this seems to be a
better way than doing the check in setup.py install.

I'd also rather not modify setup.py to remove installed files. 
 
Perhaps we can just have roundup-admin install ignore the 
old-style files?
